Winter at Split Rock

Towards the end of February, we thought we would take a little trip up the North Shore to the Split Rock lighthouse since we had not been there in the winter.

With a view like this, we immediately wondered why we hadn't been here in the winter before.

We couldn't help but snap photo after photo.

While setting up this photo, Pat almost fell in the lake. The ice on the rocks was covered by about a half inch of snow, making conditions very slippery.

The ice was pretty cool. Literally :-)

The view of the island south of the lighthouse wasn't too bad, either.

As the light continued to fade, we were treated to some beautiful color.

More ice.

We were extremely lucky the lake was so calm. This is probably my favorite photo of the Split Rock lighthouse.

One last view of the ice before heading home.
