Blue Hour Beauty at Hollow Rock

















Even though last night yielded about a 0% chance of a nice colorful sunset, I still wanted to head out after work and see what the ice was like at Hollow Rock.  We have had really good ice production on the lake over the last several days, and Hollow Rock did not disappoint in terms of ice.  The west side of the rock was littered with plate ice and here on the east side was this nice little "ice cove".  The ice cove really made for a nice composition with the peninsula of ice pointing right at Hollow Rock.  The reflection of Hollow Rock in the water was an extra bonus.  So, not much color but still an amazing scene!  Today the weather is the opposite of the serene calm that you see here.  Last night the wind kicked up and it has been violently windy this morning.  I heard that the wind gusts were maxing out at just over 60 MPH in Grand Marais!  Hopefully some ice will hang on and survive the wind.  I would not be too happy if all the ice blew away :-(
