Ice Hunter
As you may have noticed from previous posts, it’s that time of year when I turn my attention to things that are frozen. Knowing that we have had high winds blowing across Lake Superior, I figured that there would be fresh ice to discover so off I went in search of new work. My first stop was
Stoney Point, a favorite of many who travel up the north shore of Lake Superior. I was rewarded with many small pockets of ice that formed wonderful abstract patterns. I spent over two hours wandering around on the ledge rock photographing as many as I could before all my batteries succumbed to the cold.

The Conservatory
The conservatory at Como Park in St. Paul, MN.

The interplay of shape and light tricks the eye into imagining most anything…so what do you see?
