12/23/09 THE DAWN, HARBOR LIGHTS AND ICE




Wednesday, 8:15 AM. 24 degrees, wind SW, calm. The channel is dimpled and sparkling, the sky blue with a few high, wispy clouds, harbingers of an advancing front. The barometer predicts sunshine. A “perfect ten” day.
It was a very clear but dark night, and the LaPointe harbor lights across the channel on Madeline Island evoked the Holidays.
The ice covering lower Chequamegon Bay south of Washburn is visible as a white band above the blue water in the photo. Beyond the ice is the Ashland shoreline, and beyond that the Penoke hills. We’re making a last trip to Ashland before the Holidays this morning.
