Several weeks ago I was in Grand Haven and stopped at the pier to see it in it's winter beauty. I realized I never shared those pictures with you. In the last few weeks it's been warmer and a lot of this ice has melted.
At the beach it's cold, with snow and fences covering the sand.
There were some people who are braver than me who were out on the walkway. An icy walk next to icy water doesn't look like a place I want to be.
The water was fairly calm on this day, but you can see how the ice on the light house from the waves hitting it on windy days.
Lake Michigan has a different beauty in the winter.
Wow that is gorgeous. I’ve seen some dramatic winter icy photos of Lake Michigan before. It’s like nature’s art form- with the wind from the lake, it makes ice sculptures one of a kind.
ReplyDeleteSure looks freezing though. Brrrr
Hi Mari! Really beautiful pictures. I hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteOh how beautiful! And kind of otherworldly! Each photo is stunning.
ReplyDeleteThese images are fantastic indeed
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteI sincerely believe some people's "porch light" is Not on! smh
ReplyDeleteSeriously cold there! It's going to bi almost 70 here today and warming up to high 70's later in the week.
Stay warm!
hugs

Beautiful but so cold! I love looking at the pancake ice when it's there!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning, Mari! Thank you so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen such pictures! Beautiful but very cold I expect.
ReplyDeleteSnow and ice have a beauty of their own. Despite the sensations of cold and freezing, people enjoy the views.
ReplyDeleteYou are right. That is a different kind of beauty for Lake Michigan. You captured wonderful photos of it all.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! It seems so strange to see a landscape like that with snow. The Panhandle of Florida has white sand. That might look similar to this. It sure looks cold!
ReplyDeleteWow! Ice like that can be so scary - but it sure is pretty. Almost mesmerizing to look at when it freezes the rails like that. God's artwork. ;)
ReplyDeleteWow what gorgeous photos.
ReplyDeleteWe went here in February before. The red pier against the blue is so striking. You would not catch me on there though with all of that ice. Hopefully no one falls in. Janice
ReplyDeleteYour photos are absolutely stunning, my friend! Thank you for sharing. I always enjoy my visits with you.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the second one of the ice-coated rail. Just gorgeous.
Ugh it's gorgeous of course but it makes me cold just to look at it! Beautiful pictures though! xoxo
ReplyDeleteOh, Mari!! It looks so cold and forbidding, but somehow also beautiful. Thanks for sharing the shivers with us!! Brrrrr!!!
ReplyDeleteThat really is beautiful, in a bone-chilling sort of way! LOL. No, seriously, it is beautiful. I just don't think I'd want to be out there either. I'll enjoy it here from my warm spot in Florida! Thank you for sharing it with us!
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! I've never seen snow on a beach. Wow! I'm trying to start blogging again. I'd love if you'd hop over and follow me so I can follow you with just a click. Thanks.
