The Lake, Frozen!

 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.





The rails on the pier are coated in ice!






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.

  1. 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.
    Sure looks freezing though. Brrrr

  9. Snow and ice have a beauty of their own. Despite the sensations of cold and freezing, people enjoy the views.

  10. You are right. That is a different kind of beauty for Lake Michigan. You captured wonderful photos of it all.

  11. Beautiful! 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!

  12. Wow! 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. ;)

  13. We 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

  18. That 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!
