Headlands Dunes In the Winter

Here's a cool photo op or should I say COLD photo op cause you can only do it in the winter months. It's a trip to photograph Headlands Dunes in the winter! I've photographed Headlands Dunes many times but never in the winter until last Sunday. Since Dona and I love taking photos at Headlands Dunes we decided to see what it looked like in the winter and boy were we surprised by what we saw. We knew Lake Erie would be frozen, but we figured it would be a flat frozen lake, instead we saw large dunes sticking up in the lake that made for some interesting photography. We were even able to walk out on the ice and got some photos of the lighthouse that you can't get other times of the year. Check it out if you get a chance, yeah it's gonna be cold, but the photos you get will be worth it.
