Thoughts From Behind the Glass

I took this photograph while camping at Cedar Point SP between Clayton and Cape Vincent in October 2006. I have always been awed by the red sunrises or sunsets. They always appear to be such a spectacular event. The St. Lawrence River is a unique body of water, full of beauty and diversity. Cedar Point has a beach that is basically a large cove off of the river. The water that runs through it is always cold. The kind of cold that takes 5 or 10 minutes for your body to adjust to after you dive into it. I have gone swimming there when the water was so cold, your body doesn't adjust to the temprature, but would be quite refreshing on those hot humid days of July and August. I was able to spend alot of time there when I was a kid. I will never forget the cold water and the Bath House Concession Stand. All the macho teenage boys would be in there showing how manly they are by arm wrestling. Ahhh..... the good ole days.
