Windy Winter Day on Fourmile Lake

















It's a very cold and windy day today.  In honor of cold and windy days, here's a photograph from another such day a couple of weeks ago.  I spent the day driving around the various back roads of Cook County and came across several scenes worth photographing.  One such scene was this view across the snow-covered ice of Fourmile Lake just west of the Sawbill Trail.  The wind was blowing hard enough that it was lifting the snow off the surface of the lake and softening the view of the trees in the distance.  There is something to be said about cold winter beauty and I just love these harsh winter days.  I, for one, could not imagine a life without winter :-)
