Frozen Realm~
Extreme cold caused the Great Lakes to freeze over in this location, giving access to the Apostle Islands. This happens very rarely (last time it happened it was in 2009!) and it usually lasts only for a few weeks. I feel really lucky to be able to see it this time. Only God knows when it'll happen again! Yesterday was the last day for this year. The national park rangers had to close the place because the ice was getting too weak and had too many cracks, creating safety hazard for hikers. I traveled about 4 hrs to this spot. When I got to the Apostle Island Nat Park parking lot, I had to hike about 2 miles each way on foot, in the cold. And I mean COLD!! But it did worth it! It is out of this world! Unfortunately for photographers, a lot of people have found out about it and it's no longer a quiet and place...
