The Last Ice

Well, I think this is it. The last of the floating ice in Grand Portage Bay for this year.  We have had a major meltdown over the last few days and this ice that I photographed on Tuesday morning is pretty much gone now.  I was intrigued by the look of the ice in the foreground that was just under the surface of the water.  I loved all the lines in the ice and the translucence of it.  You can also see how shallow the water is in this part of the bay.  If you look at the left side of the photo, you can see the sand ripples on the lake bottom.  There is only about one foot of water depth here.  So, some of these larger chunks of ice were actually sitting on the bottom of the lake.
