Fall Lake Erie Gales  The fall always bring some wild weather to the Great Lakes region. After getting back from the rafting trip I took Monday off of work in hopes of catching some massive lake waves and nutty wind. That didn't go as planned. Headed out the Mentor Headlands State Park about 20 miles East of Cleveland. The wind was up. The wind was side offshore which knocked the big waves down. A group of us were all out there waiting for it to come onshore. Well that never happened. It remained the direction it was and blasted some crazy gusts through. The wind meter that Chris brought down recorded some 60 mph gusts. So even if it did come through it was a good idea to stay off the water. The day wasn't all lost though. The late afternoon provided some very interesting clouds. I brought the camera with me and got what is probably my favorite photo of the year. I snapped three exposures and created an HDR using photomatix. It really brings out the sun shining through the clouds far away and contrasts the darkness of the low ominous clouds above.
