Sorry I'm so late in posting this. A popular activity along the Lake Michigan shoreline (and, no doubt the shores of other lakes in cold areas of the northern hemisphere) is the "Polar Plunge", "Polar Bear Plunge" and the like, on New Years' Day. These guys below, in the thermal wet suits...
...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!
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.
