Rocks and Winter Waves

Marsha and I took a drive down the Superior lakeshore at the top of Michigan (west of Copper Harbor) just before the New Year. It was a windy day, though relatively warm. We made several stops along the way, but the wind kept us from staying long in any one place. This shot captures one small scene along the shore. It was taken in Esry Park, a Keweenaw County roadside turnout at Agate Harbor, which is about eight miles west of Copper Harbor. The photo fails to capture the sharp, bone-numbing cold we felt on that day. We were bundled tight with the latest high-tech clothing, but still the unusually damp air stabbed at us. As I say, it was even that cold, in the high 20s on that day. It was a fine day to be looking at the ice sculptures that nature creates all winter long.
