Photographer Captures Powerful Waves on Lake Erie as Liquid Mountains

[Meanderer]

"Dave Sandford is a professional sports photographer of 18 years whose hometown is London, Ontario, Canada. Over the past 4 weeks, for 2 to 3 days per week, Sandford has been driving 45 minutes to Lake Erie, spending up to 6 hours a day photographing the lake".

"The photos are awe-inspiring: Sandford gets in the water and shoots the powerful choppy waves in a way that makes them look like epic mountain peaks that are exploding into the atmosphere".

That doesn't look like the Lake Erie I remember growing up near. Amazing pictures.

That's just what I was thinking, Bonnie.

Thanks for that Jim. I was born & raised in Detroit, so I'm familiar with that lake but I never saw the "wildness" as portrayed in
the photos. I also learned a lot about the lake (It's "shallowness" etc.)

Just WOW!

Great photos, reminds me of the old Gordon Lightfoot song the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

"Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings
In the rooms of her ice-water mansion
Old Michigan steams like a young man's dreams
The islands and bays are for sportsmen
And farther below Lake Ontario
Takes in what Lake Erie can send her
And the iron boats go as the mariners all know
With the gales of November remembered..."

Number 4 looks like a skull face and number 9 looks like a really po'ed animal!
