The Long and Winding Road

I've been spending more time down on the Milwaukee River these days, taking the dog for some exercise and meeting people and other dogs along the way.  The path parallels the river on both sides and at least right, while the grass is short, my dog has lots of room to roam and explore.  It's an area I plan to explore more with images.  This one, I'm experimenting with a Lightroom preset that I found online.  I find it interesting in that the image has this glow to it and the color makes it look surreal.  It certainly doesn't work for everything but I kind of like it here.  Let me know what you think!

I was able to get out to do some shooting yesterday and it's a good thing I did it then.  Yesterday morning was a "balmy" 15 F.  Today, it's a much different story at -4 F with wind chills in the -35 F range.  Definitely a day to stay indoors.  The scene here is a boat launch in the Third Ward of Milwaukee.  I find this boat launch somewhat curious as it is located in a very industrial area of the city but offers quick access to Milwaukee Harbor and Lake Michigan.

The skies warn of the coming snow which, in this case, was only a couple of inches but adds to the foot of snow we received on Friday.  And there's another storm brewing for Tuesday.  Ahhh, winter in Wisconsin . . .
