These photos are from a few years agowhen a friend and I ventured out on the ice at Lake Audubon. As you can see, the ice was very thick at the time…nearly three feet in places! The slab pressed upward by the pressure ridge in the photo above is around twelve feet tall. Ice that thick is easily capable of supporting a vehicle or ice house. It would be nice to see it again.

North Dakota winters are not typically known for being photogenic.  I maintain that there’s plenty to see and photograph out there, it’s just a little more challenging to find.  I’ve been awfully busy this year and totally missed autumn, so I am hoping that winter provides me a respite and lots of opportunities to wield the cameras!
