A pleasant kind of madness...

I am an aspiring photographer.
Some days I think I could approach world-class. Others, meh!

So today I left the house while it was still dark, rugged up warm against the cold (-5.5C) and proceeded down to the shore, where I set up my tripod and camera and started to wait for the light.
I was about 45 minutes early for sunrise.

So what does one do to pass 45 minutes in the cold?

Simple - one puts in ones earbuds, starts up the 60's classics playlist on the iPhone and dances.

Yes folks, if you hear of a crazy person standing on the shore before dawn, doing an incomprehensible series of movements that might, in some far out place in the world, be construed as dancing, then I was that person.

And you know what? I had a ball!

And I even got this - not world class, but I like it.

As I say, a pleasant kind of madness.
