This shot was taken today south of St.Cloud, where the Mississippi winds it’s way towards Clearwater. In a few more weeks, the ice will be gone. Stay tuned as I hope to photograph the spring ice flow.

    Deer were crossing the river through the islands as I carefully set up to fly from the ice, but unfortunately eluded being photographed from the air. >>>Click on image to enlarge<<<

            As the late afternoon sun began to peek underneath the clouds today, I made some repairs to the HD plane to prepare it for a flight in the heavy snowfall. Winter presents a great opportunity to gather unique images, since there are potentially more locations to  fly from.            Today, in a steady easterly wind and a sky rapidly filling with snow, a low altitude flight was made from the Mississippi riverbank in Sartell. The paper mill is pictured here. >>>CLICK IMAGE TO ENLARGE<<<
