The Hoth System

There is line between bravery and foolishness. This shot was taken about 50 feet off the shoreline on Lake Michigan. It is a strange phenomena, called “shelf ice” that seems to form between the months of December through February. You can read more about it on wiki-knowledge. When I’m out on the ice I feel as though I’ve stepped out onto the surface of a foreign planet, it’s cold, somewhat dangerous, with uneven terrain, and I “bundle-up” so much it’s like I’m wearing a space-suit.
