Beneath the Points of Ice

Beneath the Points of Ice

One can't help but notice the thick ice on the lighthouses of the Great Lakes in winter, but a closer look often yields some very interesting formations. While carefully moving toward the windward side of the outer light - through an arch created by the ice hanging between the tower and a cable - I captured the view up toward the lantern.

The tons of ice hanging above created an interesting "room" resembling the interior of a cave, complete with stalactites and stalagmites.
