Long Point is a 45km narrow sand-spit extending out into Lake Erie - at its only 1 km in width at its widest point. It is an UNESCO World Biosphere due to lots of rare plant life and endangered critters. In a couple of weeks or so Monarch Butterflies will arrive in the thousands as they make their way to south. Today I had a wonderful opportunity to be escorted out to the very tip of the peninsula on a former Canadian Coast Guard Zodiac boat that was used for rescue operations on the Atlantic Ocean. Wow...what a ride!!!
This is a scene of the very tip of the Long Point peninsula at sunrise this morning, with a large number of gulls hanging out. The winds are very strong when you are out this far on the lake, which can be problematic with long lenses. I cloned out a few blurred gulls that I did not really like, but I did like the group flying into the scene on the left.
Look forward to comments.
