February 2020

Sunset light above Lake Madison Lutheran of rural Lake County, SD

I wasn't able to get out much in February. I took a long drive on a Saturday in the middle of the month after a large snow and wind event in the northeast part of the state to look for snowy owls. I did not locate any, but was able to capture some interesting views of the snowy vistas as you'll see in this column.  Then the month ended up with prep work for basketball tournament time in Sioux Falls. I did some time-lapse work with the Arc of Dreams sculpture that arcs over the Big Sioux River between 6th and 8th Street, downtown Sioux Falls. I also started to shoot action photos of the NSIC basketball tourney. The first game saw a full house between Northern State and Augustana and shooting action photos with a full crowd always makes for better photos so I'm including few of my favs from that February 29th afternoon as well. As alway click on an image for a larger file to view and thanks for checking in!
