It's a deep reservoir, and the water is ALWAYS cold. Maybe icebox cold. In summer and fall the air above the river forms a thick fog that sometimes keeps one from seeing the bank on the other side. The fog bank is maybe 20-30 feet above the river, thinning out near shore. It's eerie and beautiful all the time, and when the leaves start to turn in the fall (usually early-mid October) breathtaking. Pictures of trout fishermen in waders casting into the fog, incredible.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00159064831659071944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-85938798975765658632014-12-15T12:07:47.518-06:002014-12-15T12:07:47.518-06:00I agree about the fog and the woods.

I love pencil sketching, take lots of picture and have a notebook of pictures I'd like to sketch, including some from newspapers & magazines.<br /><br />I strongly recommend drawing, but like anything else you need to learn the basics first and start with low expectations.<br /><br />I'm a bit of a technician and the things I like to work on are frequently some facial characteristic, texture, or composition-detail that I find either interesting or challenging to translate into black & white. I've also done some lino. or wood block printing, which is a step more challenging. The media tends to focus sharply on the aspect of the picture that I find most interesting; there are lots of color media that I'm ok at but just don't find to be as much fun, and a color photo pretty much rules. Although I've been having a little fun digitally processing photos lately & am rethinking color (& mosaics) using the warped photos as a base for some work.<br /><br />You might have been making an off the cuff comment, but it's worth looking into.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00159064831659071944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-77588916281191588412014-12-14T19:44:54.877-06:002014-12-14T19:44:54.877-06:00That just aint right!That just aint right!Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11205752419540502278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-66997379071850388122014-12-14T18:51:46.005-06:002014-12-14T18:51:46.005-06:00"I believe the rock is chert, isn't it?&q..."I believe the rock is chert, isn't it?"<br /><br />Yes it is — laid down as sediments 400 million years old. There is also even older basalt, believed to be from magma produced by the volcanism that began forming Lake Superior between 4.5 billion and 540 million years ago. <br /><br />What makes the Driftless Area so fascinating to many people is that it's a relatively small island that was almost but not touched by by the glaciers of the last ice age 110,000 to 22,000 years ago.

That said, there's nothing else they could possibly be. In the western US, there's a similar species (visually identical) that grows on conifers that gives a good share of people digestive discomfort. The manifestation is a bit unlike what I've seen before.
