Grand Marais Harbor & Ice Patterns

[yourlibrarian]

Stopped by the Grand Marais harbor as we were passing through because the water was so blue it was too amazing to pass by without some photos.









Our weather has been all over the place and so our own lake has been freezing and thawing. I thought the look of the ice patterns looked great, as did the building reflections making color bars.

Pretty.

It was quite a sight!

Those photos of the brilliant blue water - particularly the last two of the blue water" are striking.

[yourlibrarian]

It really was an amazing shade.

That first picture is Rothko!

[yourlibrarian]

The first ice one, you mean?

[chestnut_pod]

Yes, above the cut. Those blues!

Such pretty water, wow!

[yourlibrarian]

It was! Very nice icon 🙂

Gorgeous!

It would be nice to see some sun here!

[yourlibrarian]

We could use more here as well. There were two days last week and then yesterday we also had sun but there's no more forecast until next week. I can empathize with cats and sunbeams right now!

What a beautiful place. Love those color bars!

[yourlibrarian]

It was, and yes, they look neat in the ice! 😊

These are gorgeous photos! Amazing.

[yourlibrarian]

Glad you enjoyed them!

Beautiful colors! And I love the textures of the ice.

[yourlibrarian]

They really caught my eye 🙂

Excellent images

...are the white shapes between the lake and cloud bank in photo 1 ice pack that's been lifted up in freeze-thaw, or a whole bunch of seagulls, or ???

(I'm surprised at the lack of ice fishers, who risk their lives on the thinnest skins of ice in Madison.)

Yes that cloud bank is so low and close to the water, looks like a ribbon.

The ice in the bottom pics are from the lake at home -- the day in Grand Marais was coolish but nowhere near freezing.

Stunning photos! But now I'm longing even more for some sunshine. It's been so dark and dreary here for several weeks now.

[yourlibrarian]

Yes, it's overcast and chilly here today and I'd love some sun.

What a fabulous blue! And I love the ice patterns.

Wish we had some of that blue here. It is grey, and feels like it will be grey forever... or possibly until April. 😊

Hopefully you'll get a break in it soon. I'd like to see more blue around here as well.
