Lakes

Minnetonka Harbor

Aerial view of calm lake with canoe. Colorful autumn trees on the shore. Rolling fields in background.

Aerial photo of a penisula sticking out into a calm lake just after sunset. The trees on the banks of the lake are showing their autumn colors and a full moon is visible in the sky.

Moonscape

Two old boathouses along a relatively still late. Trees are turning yellow and red. In the background we steam or fog rising off the lake.

The sunset is partially hidden behind scattered clouds and there is a silouette of a boat on a calm lake with scattered swamp grass in the forground.

About an hour before sunset over a very large lake. The sun reflects off the water. The forground is hidden due to underexposure.

Mille Lacs Sunset

In the foreground red powerboat is make a turn around a large orange buoy. In the background, you can see other boats, at least two of which are part of the race and creating a large wake.

Aerial photograph of an island about the size of several city blocks on lake.

Bay Lake Island

Looking straight down on a brown walkway winding it's way across a lake partially covered in lillypads or other small green vegitation.

Aerial view overlooking two neighboring lakes with swamps between them. It's sunsent and the colors are reflecting across one lake, in the other we see the reflection of a walkway across the lake.

Walkway at Sunset

Two adults swans with three babies huddled next to them. The family is swimming on a large lake with lillypads in foreground.

Swanlings

Floating Concert

Orange sunset reflecting off a calm lake with much vegitation poking through the surface of the water.

In the foreground we have a red barn and small corral. Fields are covered in snow. In background, we have a large lake with many islands and penninsulas. The water is mostly calm and open, but hints of ice along the edges are visible.

Aerial photo taken just about the tree line along the shores of an open lake, during a snow storm. The ground and cabins are all covered in snow. The sky is dark and snow can be seen in the air.

Bay Lake Blizzard

Aerial view of a large a place where two large cracks in the ice are coming together on a very large frozen body of water. We can not see shore in any direction.

Ice River Crack

Aerial view of a frozen lake with several small islands, narrow penninsulas, and small bays. The vegitation is all very brown, except for some scattered evergreen trees. Almost no snow on the ground.

Content Point, Bay Lake

On The Winter Shore

Ice heaves on Lake Mille Lacs. Large slabs of ice pusing against each other and up in the air 2' to 3' feet. Sky is blue and sunlight is reflecting off the smooth portions of the lake ice.

More Ice Heaves

Aerial view of a half dozen 'pull behind' ice houses all attached to pick up trucks on a frozen lake. One can see lots of small chuncks of broken ice that have froze back together through the surface of the ice. The ice house in the foreground is flying an American flag along with one that say's "F--k Biden."

Politics on Ice

Close up of a pile of large slabs of ice protruding from the surface of a frozen lake. We can barely see the other side of lake in the distance. The sky is blue with a thin veil of white clouds.

Ice Slabs

An aerial view of a frozen lake near sunset. We catch a little color in the sky and in the trees along the shore. A solitary ice fishing house stands on the frozen lake.

Chilly Lakeshore

Aerial view looking over corner of frozen lake. Lake is bordered by forest covered in frost.

Mille Lacs Forest Icing

Looking over a very large frozen lake at the sun just touching the horizen. Sunset is reflected in scattered clouds of an otherwise blue sky. Dark branches frame the view on either side of image.

Aerial photo of a frozen lake with the borders of a race track track outlined in snow. There is no one on the lake or on the race track. It's emply. Beyond the lake is a forest of bare trees and in the far background another much larger lake.

Ice Art

Looking straight down on frozen lakeshore. Buildings and docks are visible on shore, but focus of photo is a series of paths plowed in the snow on the ice that seem to be several windy paths for ice skating that intersect. We only see portions of the paths.

Ice Skating Path

Aerial photo of an open river flowing into a frozen lake. It's near sunset and you can see the sun in the trees. The woods on either side of river are covered in scattered snow.

Looking straight down on a house/cabin on a snowy peninsula justting into a frozen lake. It's near sunset and the buildings and trees are casting interesting shadows.

Pointed Shadows

Looking along the shore of a large lake. A strip of previously broken ice has frozen back together and further out we see smooth ice and then open water. The sky is blue.

Choppy Ice

Aerial view of a relatively small dam that seems to be generating electricity. The water about the dam ins mostly frozen, below the dam the water is open. The lake above the dam is surrounded by bare trees and the ground is covered by a very light snow cover.

Frozen Dam

Forest of bare brown trees in foreground. In background we see a very large lake cover with ice on left and right, but a strip of open water in the middle.

Mille Lacs Freeze

A family of 5 swans on a very large lake, three of which are visibly colored to indicate they are still young, despite being the size of their parents.

Aerial view of an underground cabin, built into a small hill on a small peninsula on a frozen lake.

Meanwhile, back in the Shire...

Looking across a very still lake at a McDonalds restaurant just after dark. Lights in parking lot are bright and the yellow arches are reflected in the lake.

Fast Food Reflections

Photo of sunset over a frozen lake with the small silouette of a very small ice house and 4 wheeler in the middle of the frozen lake.

Thin Ice

Low angle photo of the lake shore with ice and floating snow extending about 30-40 feet into the lake and then open water.

Lake Icing

Orange and yellow sunset reflecting off a lake.

Looking down at neighborhood of mostly single family homes along side a large lake. A baseball field lies between the lake and many of the houses. The business part of town is vaguely visible in the distance. Sky indicates it is close to sunset.

Excelsior

Looking down at an angle at a dock with three empty boat slips on either side. It's getting dark and the dock is strung with small white light bulbs that reflect off the water and the wooden dock. The water is calm.

Aerial view of a farm house, barn, and other buildings situated between two lakes. A road passes by on the far side of the farm, the freshly cut lawn is bordered by brown tall grass. The buildings are tinted pink from the sunset happening behind us.

Farm House

A family of 6 swans are silhouetted against the sunset on a calm lake.
