Waves and changing water levels push and heave ice on the bay into ridges and displaced slabs

| ' upheaval ' |
Every year the timing and results are different and change over time. Early ice formations along the edge of open water occur nearer to the shore as ice reaches further and further out. When winds whip up waves the ice can be pushed back towards the shore at the edges of open water.
Footing can be tenuous along these edges and I usually wait until after the ice forms well out from the shore or to completely cover the bay before I venture out too far. Once I deem conditions safe enough, out I go with camera to capture some of the wonder of winter ...
