RETURN TO PINE CREEK – Maiden Rock, WI #aerialphotography

RETURN TO PINE CREEK

A return to Pine Creek this last Thursday evening produced some nice light.  I have hoped to capture a decent sunset panorama in the valley – a mix of color and clouds, but no luck yet.  The weekends in March haven’t yielded such a situation.  It was better than total gray like previous visits.  The melt has been on and the water is high again.

Panoramas from a previous trip; you can see how high the water was.

BEFORE THE STORMS COME – Hager City, WI #lovelyafternoon

BEFORE THE STORMS COME

Another finally Friday; the work week is done.  I look forward to the weekends and photography sunrise/sunset.  However, the forecast for this weekend looks like total crap.  Freezing rain, snow, high winds – blizzard warning oh my.  A recipe for a Netflix binge no doubt.   I took advantage of the nice weather Friday afternoon before the storms come.  It was nice to get out and fly.

First Stop

I didn’t venture too far; just across the Mississippi River from Red Wing into Wisconsin.  My first stop was Pucketville right next to the Harbor Bar.  There is a nice view of Red Wing from there and the Jamaican Jerk cuisine is fantastic.

Second Stop

I wanted to get a shot of the Trimbelle River tail waters, but wasn’t able to get a close enough.  It is a bit difficult to see, but it is out in the distance about center frame.  You can see the bridge over the Trimbelle River on Hwy 35 or the right side of the frame.  I will have to dress appropriately next time and go for a hike.  The patches of evergreens are interesting.   A few hundred feet up sure offers a different perspective.

Third Stop

I drove around a bit more until I found myself near the gravel pit on Cty Rd VV.  This area looked pretty interesting while hovering over the bluff tops.  The exposed rock from the gravel pit, the road through the valley and if you look closely, you’ll see the little town of Hager City, WI in the middle of the frame.

I really love the bluff country where I live.   I look forward to photographing it from the air in all seasons.
