This night, Mother Nature gave me a lesson on how things work. It was not the first time I was served this lesson but it was timed very well since I seemed to have forgotten! It's not over until it's over! I should have known better but I still packed the camera too early. However, nature would have none of it and with its quick lesson the camera was back out to capture the last few seconds of the day.

Land and water clashing in the most spectacular place on Lake Ontario and in my opinion one of the most spectacular places in New York State.

What really called me to take this photo was the difference between the cold tones of the shaded foreground, and the lake, and the warm tones of the remaining light in the sky. Our eyes can't always see it since our minds automatically adjust and neutralize color casts, however, cameras don't do that and just record what's in front of them. And it was magic!

The Chimney Bluffs State Park is located on the southern shore of Lake Ontario in Sodus Bay. It all started during the last ice age when drumlins got created near receding glaciers as a record of their last direction. Then, wind, rain, snow, and waves and their erosive power shaped up the terrain into the spires we can see today. As the erosion continues it can shave off up to 5 feet a year. From Sodus Bay to Oswego there are other bluffs but none as visited as Chimney Bluffs.
