Description

I spent a few days at the cabin with my spouse and snuck out to the beach with my 10 mm lens and my Canon 60D.   

Winter is on its way and the lake is cooling significantly.  The breeze was up this evening and the surf/wind combo was intense.   

I set up the camera on my Ioptron tracker and did a quick polar alignment, and ripped off a few shots.... until the weather chased me back into the kitchen of the cabin.   The little development is essentially abandoned at this time of the year, and the skies were very dark.

This is a single exposure of 160 seconds.

Thanks for looking!
