Gale & I were out ice fishing the other day, and noticed a lot of strange ice formations on the south end of the lake. We took a ride down to take a closer look for ourselves, and as you can see in the pictures, we found some beautiful ice sculptures along the shoreline. The wind was blowing very hard from the north in November when the ice was forming and I believe the waves splashing up on the south shoreline instantly froze into these beautiful formations. We have never seen this kind of massive ice build-up before
With the snowmachine in front, you can see how expansive these formations are! We took a few more of these - once in a lifetime sight, I'm sure!
Gale shown in front of one of the formations. Twice as tall as she is! Notice the wind angle at the rear of the formation.
Bob is sitting on a natural ice Captain's chair nestled in the ice block. Notice the icle in the front. It was out by itself, about 4 feet in front of the formation, and it stands approx. 6 feet tall!
Long expanse of ice. The big cedar on the right has ice creeping up it's trunk probably 15 feet in height.
Hope you enjoyed these amazing photos as much as we enjoyed seeing them!
Till next time, keep warm, and enjoy your winter!
