When I first arrived at Leone Beach, I was struck by the beauty of the frozen wave splash, which had created a tiny, white ‘mountain range’ along the shore!
I had wanted some ‘quiet time’, just to think for a bit in silence, and I certainly found it at my favorite spot–the pier remnants!
I noticed that the lake had receded due to the frozen wave splash, so I decided to ‘take a walk IN the lake’!
Here’s my image of ‘straddling’ the pier remnants…normally, I would be standing in several feet of water!
I walked on, and captured ‘the other side’ of the remnants, which I had never been able to see fully…and it was a great thrill, believe me!
Here’s a closer look at that camera left section…frozen stiff and away from the water (unless this GREAT lake begins acting up again?):
I’ll have at least TWO more parts to this exciting (and a bit dangerous!) saga, as soon as I’ve edited another twenty-some images.
Thanks for walking with me!
Love this post and these photos! I’m an enthusiastic walker who loves to take pictures, so i really connected with this.
Thanks so, Julia! I’m very happy you visited AND followed. Being aware of what is around us when walking, and being able to present it to others is a gift to the world, don’t you think?
Excellent pictures 1000! It is amazing that such a large body of water could freeze so (I was in Latvia a couple of years ago and I walked on the frozen Baltic Sea – so I know it can)! You stay safe…be careful when it thaws!
I do not go into the lake any longer,smacked…the beaches have closed a few times this past summer due to bacteria, and as I am immune-compromised from drinking Lake Michigan water since 1993, I just stay on shore. But THISD…this was special, because all this sand is lake bottom, and not even seen at low tide! I’m happy to say I’m a stubborn old gal, and wouldn’t have passed up this opportunity to shoot here for anything! Safety First…always!
The images with the wood are so good, I like the texture of the wood against the water and obvious cold. YOu are making me want to go down to the water and take some photos.
Water and waves always make for a good subject, Leanne…they don’t talk back or get nervous…they just ‘do their thing’!
