| Huron River, Dexter, Michigan |
So anyway, I was headed to Dexter to see George, and grab some sensor cleaning supplies, and get some pricing on tripods. The other day I had mentioned to a customer that I would be in the area, and he decided to give me a "Short Cut" that was sure to get me there faster! As usually happens......I got lost! Let me just say that, if you have to pick a place to get lost, Dexter isn't a bad place to be! It's a quaint little town, surrounded by farms, fields and woods, along with the Huron River weaving in and out as you drive through. Although I was most definitely lost, I didn't care, I was enjoying the ride......
After I was quite sure that I had driven way out of my way, I finally pulled over, and pulled up the GPS app on my phone. Sure enough, I was about 5 miles passed where I was supposed to be, and on the other side of the river. Although I was enjoying the drive, I let the GPS lead me the rest of the way.
The sky was overcast, and a light rain was falling. Over the river, which was off to my left running parallel to the road I was on (the aptly named Huron River Drive, go figure) was a very dense fog (or maybe swamp gas....or the mist from that Steven King movie). As I made my turn and took the bridge over the river, and towards downtown Dexter, I saw my shot!
I of course parked illegally, and about a quarter mile from the bridge, which was the only safe place I could find. I'm also pretty sure I shouldn't have been on the bridge, with a tripod and camera, so I quickly ran down the street to my spot, set up the tripod and framed the shot. After a few quick exposures, I folded up the tripod legs, and headed back to the truck.
The fog in the distance made for a very dramatic scene.... and I only got a little wet capturing it!
