Mille Lacs

Aerial view of shoreline with some snow on shore, some open water, and then ice. On the ice one can see snow mobile tracks spinning in a circle. The path to shore is interrupted by open water and a shift by the ice to the left.

Snowmobile Ride

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.

Eagle Having Dinner on Cold Day

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

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.

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

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.

Looking straight down at the shoreline of Mille Lacs Lake. A two lane road runs along the bottom border of the photo, above it a thin line of green vegitation. Above that a uneven row of sand. The top two thirds of image is shallow water.

Left side of image is mostly green forests and swamps and the edge of a very large blue body of water. The right side of the image is mostly brown farm fields with light horizontal rows and circles that indicate tractor activity. In the distance a tiny plume of dusk suggests a moving tractor.

North Shore Farm Fields

Aerial photo of the center of a small town on the shore of a very large lake. Photo shows about 6 blocks of downtown with blue water tower in the middle.

Small Town, Big Lake

A group of 7 pelicans swimming on lake with many small ducks in background.

Pelicans

Just off shore a row of 6-8 foot piles of ice chips stand next to each other, on ice covered lake. In foreground is a dock, with some open water and a rocky barrier.

Ice Chip Mountains

Aerial photo showing much broken ice and patches of open water. Peninsulas stick out from either side of image with a small island in the middle.

Ice Flows

Sun shines over Mille Lacs Lake. Silhouette of a bare tree sands near scattered rocks on a sand beach. There is still some ice on the lake further out, but in the foreground the ice is gone.

Zen Tree

Ducks are resting near edge of an open pool of water on an otherwise frozen lake. Some ducks are startled and beginning to fly. Sky is blue and the sun is reflecting off the ice.

Drone photo of frozen and snow covered lake with networks of plowed roads to fish houses scattered as far as the eye can see.

Cul De Sac on Ice

A statue of a large walleye in winter. The ground is covered in snow and in the background one can see Lake Mille Lacs covered in ice and snow.

Drone photo looking closely at snow covered trees along the shore of Mille Lacs lake. Lake is covered with ice and snow, but barely visible in photo.

Snow Covered Trees on Mille Lacs

Drone photo of shoreline of Mille Lacs lake. Sky is overcast and grey, the trees are coated with snow and the lake is frozen over and covered in snow.

Random Image

Looking down rail road tracks from very low angle/height. Trees line the tracks on both sides and just ahead of us the tracks split into two, one veering off to the left while the other continues straight ahead.
