| Lake Michigan |
I spent last week visiting a dear friend in the wind swept city of Chicago. In lieu of dropping the hundreds of photos taken onto this site, I will spend the next few posts focusing on specific aspects of my trip, and the city, that I found most intriguing. So to start, here is a view of Lake Michigan from the Chicago Harbor. Having arrived just after a massive blizzard, much was still covered in heavy snow, and the harbor itself was completely frozen. I saw my first ice-fishermen here. As both my friend and myself hail from the tropical south, we thought it odd that so many people were walking atop the icy harbor water. However, after watching a ten-year-old boy struggling to use an ice fishing jig, and then realizing that everyone was dangling miniature fishing rods into small punctures into the ice, logic put it all together. I wonder what all of this must look like from the fishes' perspective. Skylights? Impending doom?
