The Door Is Always Open

So I head off to Bents SK on Friday night all on my own...It's -22C plus a 30kph wind.
Man it's -35C with the wind chill!!! My plans are to shoot some inside stuff at night.
well Bents is snowed in real bad and the walk would have killed me in that deep snow
and with no heat or power in that Ghost Town I may have been a goner.
Ya I know Bents like the back of my hand but I have rules and stick to them.
I'm not getting trapped there for someone to find me in the spring.
So it's to plan "B" this lonely house on the grid just south of Bents.
It's still damn cold and I shoot untill all my battery power on may D200 is dead.
In the cold that's about 10 shots!!! This image and the next 2 were what I was after.

Nikon D200
88s f/5.6 at 11.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

I wondered if you were able to make it out to Bents with all the snow and wind....I still wish I could have gone along but next time for sure. The wide angle looks great Mike!

It's -35C with wind chill but you have "rules"? Even the snow came in to get out of the cold :-) Another great capture from the night... Well done Mike.

This one is just fantastic (as are the other 2 of this group), I love the blue light coming in from the open door. But, taking photos, at -22C, at night, on your own... I thought I was a bit mad but you take the prize! ;-)

Mike, Mike, Mike what am I going to do with you?

But a great image anyway.
