One year ago today a friend and I launched a canoe from the pack ice on Meyer's Beach and made for the Mainland Sea Caves in the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore on Lake Superior, Wisconsin. There were icebergs to dodge and skim ice to break, but we made the ice caves and were very well rewarded for our efforts. With perfect glass flat seas and amazing light, we picked this composition and waited for the right moment. There was no way of knowing then, on December 18th 2013, how popular the sea caves would become that winter or the thousands and thousands of people that would visit them over the frozen ice. However, on this day, exactly zero other people were present. Of the many, many trips I've made to the Apostle Islands, this was one of few that bordered on epic. http://ift.tt/1wvF3OG via 500px http://ift.tt/1C9aYYD
