It's been a little white since we've had any Aerial Kite views from Nathan Miller, so today's shots are a treat! Here's what Nathan had to say about this latest Kite Photography adventure...
"Here are a few shots from a recent kite flight out to the Keweenaw Waterway Upper Entrance Light, otherwise known as "The Breakers!" The ice on Lake Superior wasn't frozen solid yet which meant I had to fly my kite from the opposite breakwater (shown in the last photo). Quite the change from the past two years! I'm hoping the ice freezes thick a bit more this winter so I can get out to more remote locations to fly my kite safely.
This second photo is taken looking out into Lake Superior across the thousands of pancake-like ice blobs floating on the water. So much for having miles of ice to hike across this year!
In the third photo you see some of the interesting ice formations near the upper entrance light. None of it is safe yet out here unfortunately, especially with warm weather returning for another melting blast.
The last shot is of me standing on the opposite breakwater at the north entry breakers in Stanton Township. I wouldn't recommend flying a kite from the icy breakwater, especially with Lake Superior's open waters ready to swallow me up if I slipped. But it was a worthy challenge if you ask me :) Enjoy the aerial views!"
Nathan pretty much covered everything to do with these spectacular scenes, the only thing I might add, is that Nathan is an experienced adventurer, so please don't try this at home unless you are experienced also and if you do, make sure you wear some ice cleats!
