Late January 2024

More sunrise sat Lake Lanier on cold, breezy mornings typical of winter in Georgia. It was cold enough to sting my cheeks, but not cold enough for frostbite. On the first morning the light wasn’t great, but this was the last chance before several days of clouds and rain. We’re getting enough rain to bring the lake back from 8 feet below full pool to only 3 feet low, with more rain on the way.

On the second morning, after several more rainy days, it was more of the same. The lake is now up to just a foot or so below full pool. The forecast was for partly cloudy, but the partlies never showed, so I photographed the trash cans just on a whim.

At this time of year he sun is getting to an awkward position with respect to vantage points for good compositions. Good images may be hard to find for six weeks or so.
