Someone reported a life raft afloat in Lake St. Clair, part of the Great Lakes system. By the time we got out to it the rescue aircraft was already on it's way. This was the only shot I managed to get other than one of an empty raft.

The perspective and lonely feeling you captured here is very good.

This does have an air of being all alone - nice clouds to st off the water too.

I am glad you got the plane as it was taking off Doug.
The shot tells a story.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Communication with ships wasn't so good those days. The raft is empty. Good clear shot.
