Photography from a kayak is a challenge – you look up, you get mostly flat water, you look down, you photograph your feet!

Kayak Trip #12 – Magic Morning
This morning I was wondering how “cool” paddling would be – the temperature was only 65ºF when I put the kayak in the water at the northern beach on Lake Calhoun. There was now wind however, and a bit of rowing kept me perfectly warm!
The first photo in this little gallery that shows the bridge, is my best paddling photo ever – it contains the crisp clear and fresh lake air, the blue sky, the tranquility of the trees and the life of the city is shown by the runners enjoying nature.
