Plate Ice Sunrise, Whitecaps Point

















As promised, here is another shot from this morning's sunrise over Lake Superior.  Whitecaps Point (not an official name, just a name I came up with to reference this area) was lined with beautiful plate ice this morning.  Soft swells were rolling in off the lake, and the plates of ice were rubbing against each other in the swells, making a magical "shooshing" sound.  It was a gentle sound, not loud and abrasive like the sound made when the plates are piling up against the shore.  I sure do love this time of year and wish it lasted longer.  Spring is on its way, though, and soon I will be heading to the canyonlands of the southwest for a 3-week camping/hiking/biking adventure honeymoon with the love of my life!
