Sunrise over the Lauwersmeer National Park

I went to the Lauwersmeer National Park this morning to capture the sunrise. I must be completely mad: -8ºC and a strong wind from exactly the direction I needed to face for the sunrise. On top of that: lots of clouds and no sun to be seen. Still, it was good fun and I got to practice somewhat with my new wired remote and spirit level. When I returned to my car after 45 minutes I was very cold and very glad I brought a thermos with hot water so I could enjoy a cuppa before driving home.

It looks like this could also look great when the lake is not frozen so I will probably return here some day...

It's cold out; stay warm and have a nice day!

Edit: The teacher of the landscape photography course I'm taking hinted us about this location. Looking back at the weblog on his website I think I have found the exact same pier he was standing on. The shots look very similar, except for the weather conditions. Oh, and the fabulous colours in his images, of course...
