Light Sublime

Reflected on the slight waves, shining bright on the horizon. This was one of those mornings when I rounded the corner for my first view of the Lake and had to gasp. From 2/13/12.

Mysterious and Rare Precipitation

The snowflakes were so large and slow on this day that I was able to capture them on camera. This is the only substantial snow we've had in February, and it totaled about 3 inches. Most days are above freezing, and traffic to the Iceberg Hoax post has slowed down considerably from years past. Strangest winter I've ever experienced. From 2/10/12.

Horizon Light

Roiling waters up close give way to sweet light on the horizon, beyond the clouds. From 2/07/12.

Blur

More calm and blue. From 2/06/12.

Filtered

Those are some amazing clouds, letting a little bit of light escape and shine in a spot on the water. From 2/04/12.

Winter Lake Swimming

I posted about this phenomenon before, but here's some footage of WINTER Lake swimming off Promontory Point in Chicago.  I've never done it, I doubt I ever will, but I can't help but admire those who do.

Soothing

Beautiful smooth blue for a balmy February first.  What a contrast with last year.
