Bridging the Ice

I’ve lived in West Michigan for about six years. This is the first time I’ve seen the Grand River frozen over from bank to bank. It’s a sight to behold and makes for some unique perspectives.

Cresting Ice

Another one from Lake Michigan.  As the ice melted, it left a growing layer of sand that was mixed in with it from wave action.  Taken in January.

Stretching

Few things add more perspective to a scene than trees.  This tree stretches over the Grand River, whose surface is mostly frozen.

The waves eventually got to him, but both he and his equipment were OK.  Taken in November 2017–Grand Haven, MI.

Grand Rapids, Michigan

I’ve lived in Grand Rapids for six years. It is one of the most beautiful cities I’ve ever lived in. Pictured here are the Blue Bridge and the frozen Grand River. Tour guide.

Warm Skies, Frozen Waters

The pier and lighthouse in Grand Haven, Michigan, on Lake Michigan. The sky was perfectly clear on this day–a break between arctic blasts.
