So, this is not something you see too often around Southern New England. There was only one day last year with good sea-smoke, and this years show was this morning. It's been frigid since Friday, but this morning the temp was -10, with windchills below -30 on the shoreline. I was up early, and at Point Judith lighthouse by about 6. Found a spot to set up, and started shooting.
The pre-sunrise light was amazing

I was bundled up in so many layers, but ended up being pretty comfortable. My fingers and toes were a bit numb by the time I got back to the car, but it wasn't too bad. Nothing a heated seat and hot air couldn't fix.

The golden color from the sun peaking over the clouds was to die for.

And after all the fun, we went over to Newport and I stopped on the Jamestown Verrazano bridge to snap a few of this little spark-plug.

All in all, I'd call it a successful morning of shooting--the first time back since my camera went for a swim. My gear seemed to perform just fine, although the VC or AF made a high pitched whine once or twice, but I assume that's from the oil inside the lens becoming viscous in the extreme cold.
Best,
Jake
