Winter Gale
With an approaching cold front, southwest Michigan was under high wind warnings today, with gusts to 60 miles per hour. Gale warnings were issued on Lake Michigan, with 12-14 foot waves. Temperatures were about 20 degrees above normal before the cold front passed, in the low 60s. In this capture of the South Haven Lighthouse, a large wave crashed into the end of the pier, creating sprays of water over 75 feet above the surface of Lake Michigan. You can see the piles of ice accumulating next to the pier along the shoreline from the freezing cold water and the waves that deposit the ice there. Aperature priority, ISO 200, 1/800 second at F7.1, +1/3 compensation, handheld. Levels, color, and USM in PS7. Cropped square from original. **BEST VIEWED LARGE**
