i've been waiting for this moment.
on march 6, 2007 - a very rare phenomena
appeared on top of lake ontario
... cold steam/water vapour.
it's created when the air temp is colder than the
water temp making the water warmer than the air.
it's surreal to watch if you can put up with the windchill !!
there were two other days this past winter that it happened
but life's obligations prevented me from capturing the steam.
one of those two - feb 10, 07 - it was actually much more intense... i was stuck on the highway out near oshawa and could see it over the lake. thought for certain i missed it for another year .... this was the only shot i snagged of it the previous winter.
here's a very very early timelapse of what the steam looks like
over the span of an hour. In realtime, it literally hangs over the lake.
Consecutive shots, one every second.
Quick timelapse made by exporting all raw frames using picasa.
