These photographs show how the blizzard effected Lake Michigan shoreline.
Mountains of ice formed where the water usually is. Notice hardly any snow is on the sand. Yet, the sand is frozen. Remember Illinois is a flat, no mountains here.
More mountains of snow and ice and blue sky.
This is what the frozen sand looked like in the area where lake water usually is. Shoreline was frozen.
I walked through drifts of snow by walking in someone else's footprints who had been there before me to get to the mountains of snow and frozen sandy beaches. Drifts were taller than my boots. It was cold. It was windy; but the sun was out. For once the sky and sea didn't merge into one color. I noticed these patterns and branch on the ground and could not resist its beauty.
This was the last image I took that day.

Your pictures a absolutely gorgeous! Unfortunately, my sunbathing chaises are once again covered in snow and ice.
ReplyDeleteLovely images!
ReplyDeleteYour outdoor photos are beautiful, though it looks cold too!
ReplyDeletegreat textures in that third one down, and the shadows in the fourth. I wouldn't have guessed that was Lake Michigan - cool landscapes!
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing - I've never seen anything like this as we don't have worthwhile lakes out here.
ReplyDeleteI love your photos of the frozen sand and waves of ice and snow!
