Second post for today.

 We live near Lake Erie in Ontario, this  lake can get very rough and treacherous even in the Summer, in the Winter even worse when combined with bitter cold temps.  Pictures of the ice build up were on the news so this afternoon we took a ride to see the lakeside for ourselves, 

Last week we were in the middle of a blizzard with winds on the lake 100 kms per hour, there was still open water, so the waves were whipped up into mountains.  Along with the winds there was snow and bitter cold temperatures.  Combine all those elements along with the spray of water and Mother Nature certainly knows how to form the most beautiful ice sculptures.  Here are just a few of the photo's I took today of the pier/breakwater in this village.  During the Winter weather it is too treacherous for people to walk out on the far end, so gates have been installed.

This is a side view of the gate, there were a lot of people there so difficult to get in front of it, plus the ground was not safe for me to be comfortable walking on it as it was so slippery.

These are lamp lights, use your imagination and so many things come to mind.

It was bitter cold, so didn't stay too long.
