There are people gathered in Nebraska from all over the world for this show. We shared some cold morning whispers with some people toting some very serious optics and cameras.
It was a little hard to dress for the occasion as it went from a high of 85 degrees on Thursday down to 26 degrees Saturday morning. Just to add a little extra misery, the wind was blowing much of the time, gusting up to 45 mph. More later. One more checked off the old bucket list.
Sunrise on the Platte Good Friday
Cranes Going Airborne
Easter Morning on the Platte
Note: I took this in the morning after we gained a few foot-candles and the birds had thinned out enough to differentiate individuals.What appears to be shoreline in the far distance are more cranes. A lot more cranes. All cronking continuously. And loudly.

Working out that new camera, I see.
Photos look great. It also looks like it was cold as shit.
I felt a little under-gunned with my wide angle toy, especially getting good flying shots. My cell mates had lens 2 feet long, the diameter of a coffee can, shooting a burst every time they pulled the trigger. Some were pros, others just people with too much money who ran into slick talking camera salesmen. Christ, you could buy a Rene Hearse camper for the cost of them babies.(Okay, I envy them a little.)
Damned cold. Only had two little thermoses (thermi?) for coffee. Better on day two after I bought some gloves, stocking cap and underwear.
I love the photos! You might make me reconsider city life!
Great shots! That camera seems to work pretty good.
