Apostle Islands, Day 2 — June 20, 2008
I’d really intended to go back to the cliffs the evening of the first day. Too tired from my paddle with the group kept me from doing so. Besides, we had cloud cover for most of the evening in any case. So, instead, I went back the next morning, a little earlier than the previous day… and alone.
Skies were a lot clearer but there was a little more chop on the water. Not bad chop but it would increase while I was out. This cliff should look familiar:

Since I was by myself, I was more free to spend time exploring and composing shots… no where near as hurried as I’d been the day before.

The downside was that I had no other kayaks to “place” in the foreground of my shots.
I did a little experimentation while in one of the caves.

Due to the time of day, most of the points were in the shade. There were a couple of exceptions though.

Even though I got back to the landing on Meyer’s Beach much later than when we’d put in the day before, I encountered no other kayaks while on the water. I’d had the whole sea cave area to myself. I would have liked to stay longer but, it was time to return the kayak and begin the drive home.
