Icy Sunrise

View On White

 

I really think I've lost my mind. Why would anyone get out of bed at 4:00am in January and drive over an hour to go out in sub zero tempuratues to take a picture?

 

This is Nippersink Creek at Glacial Park Conservation Area in McHenry County. It is one of the cleanest and healthiest streams in the state of Illinois.

 

I have been making the drive to this place since I saw a photo taken here by Ray Mathis on the cover of Chicago Wilderness Magazine last year. If you want to see just how beautiful this place is, check out this guy's galleries. Most of these images are from Glacial Park: naturesmasterpieces.com/Gallery/CW.html
