" Unbreakable "

There is a story why this sunset looks like a spotty windshield after a road trip. The spots or should I say particles of light are actually grain of wet sand blown by the wind and hitting the glass of my lens as the light from the sunset made them glow. I almost thought the sand would break my lens.

It was a beautiful sunset on that day as I stood on the shoreline of Lake Superior just before a storm. The wind was howling like a madman and I can't barely stand to take a shot. I crouched down thinking that being closer to the ground will give me the balance, well it did, and more. The wind blows that sandy beach hitting my face and camera with sands coming from the direction where I was aiming. It was hard to compose, harder to open my eyes, but heck, the things I do for photography...just crazy.
