We are expecting a huge snowstorm in the next 24-48 hours. We begin it with a coating of ice/snow on the lake's surface.
The rippling ice is a site to behold.
At noon, these ominous clouds were looming.
By late afternoon, the low clouds were threatening to burst open. But so far, only flurries. We shall see...
I was listening to something on the radio and wanted to hear the end of it, so rather than driving home and having a "driveway moment" I drove to the park two blocks away to have a "beach moment." As I was sitting there in the car, the seagulls began flying overhead, so I tried to get them on film. Imperfect, and yet perfect at the same time. From Saturday, 1/22/11.
I'm a little late with this, but the just-completed NFC Championship game featured the only two Lake Michigan-bordering teams, playing in the only Lake Michigan-bordering stadium (or any body of water-bordering, at least that I am aware of, in the country). Regardless of the side you chose, this is a significant piece of Lake Michigan news.
Tiny aerial view of the stadium. It really is in a very cool place. Other cities wish their stadiums were half this cool.
Finally managed to get a decent shot of the weird light-on-the-water phenom. Also love the dark blue sky and light brown water.
I've used ethereal before. No synonyms seemed to capture it as well. It's just...wow. From Monday, 1/10/11.
...are waiting for these guys/gals, in the birthday suits (with a few accessories).
I was there to watch, and it was COLD just standing outside in the cold with a strong breeze off the Lake. maybe some year I will try this, but this was not that year!
