January 2nd, and at -20F, it was the coldest morning of the year so far. I once again found myself enjoying the sunrise on Lake Superior. Although it was cold, there wasn't much wind so the bite to the air was not really noticeable. I climbed down the rocky breakwater and placed my camera and tripod just above the breaking waves. There was something very peaceful in this little cove, with the waves slapping the ice covered rocks and sea smoke rising off the big lake. As I sat on the cold rocks, the sound of the waves caught my attention. I was reminded by this one scene that water is the only substance on earth that naturally occurs in all three states of matter; solid, liquid, and gas. These states were all here at the same time. Cool!
The sun soon peaked out from behind the lighthouses and burned it's way through the steam. I had come here for this moment and I wasn't disappointed. God mixed the element of His creation together once again to reveal his glory for another beautiful "Superior Sunrise".

The stormy wind comes from its chamber, and the driving winds bring the cold. God's breath sends the ice, freezing wide expanses of water. Job 37:9
