Lake Superior Winter Splendor: Part TWO

This is the second of a series of photos I took on the shores of Lake Superior...if you missed Part ONE, just drop below this post and you will find it there!


I am always mesmerized by ice formations, especially near open water in the winter.


I wasn't disappointed on this trip out to the big lake.



This is a snow covered little island just off the shore. I loved the "dripping" ice formations on the edge of the island:



Snow fingers with ice! Looks like winter lava:




One of the most photographed places on Marquette's Lake Superior shoreline is this red coast guard station:




But in the winter, even the simple frozen shoreline can be gorgeous:





Close up, the shelves of ice have a character all of their own:




These looked like icy fingers dipping into chocolate pudding:





This is a closeup of the one I showed you yesterday of the frozen "hat" over the large stone in the lake:





Looking through lacy trees out at the frozen island just off shore:






Molten ICE!:



A close up of an ice "cave" on the island:

I have one more blogpost to show you tomorrow
to conclude the photographs of beautiful Lake Superior
in the winter....
(at least for this week!)


Who knows what I might find next week????
