Iceberg Coast

Boy, am I ever loving this winter so much more than last winter!  Last winter was such a non-winter that I would rather just not remember it.  This year we have more snow and more ICE!  This scene was photographed yesterday morning near Cascade River State Park.  Fellow photographer and friend Bryan Hansel (http://www.bryanhansel.com) and I met up to photograph this "Iceberg Coast" together. Huge chunks of ice littered this section of coast, some of them towering as much as 10 to 15 feet high, built up by the waves from Lake Superior.  The temperature was below zero on this morning, which meant that there was some nice sea smoke drifting around over the surface of the lake.  It also meant that the morning was very quiet, with barely a ripple on the surface of the lake.  A sublime morning for sure!
