After

I took a post-blizzard pilgrimage to the lake yesterday.

It was apocalyptic looking in a very à propos way.

(yesterday)
Lake Michigan, where are youuuuuuu?

But then, is it ever NOT apocalyptic looking when you are on the edge of a huge body of water, the other side of which you cannot see?

Survivors

The lake has a nice blanket of snow and ice with just a little rivulet of free flowing water visible to us shore-bound humans.

(yesterday)
The tiny creek that is Lake Michigan today.

Funny how that point has merged with the frozen lake around it.

Lakefront, Diana style

Apparently they are still digging stranded cars out of heaps of snow about a mile south of me (near North Ave) -- as you can see in my friend Sen's (pronounced Shan by the way) awesome shot taken around 6 p.m. last night.

But up by me, Lake Shore Drive is as clear and pristine as if it had somehow escaped the storm that fell all around it.

Pristine Lake Shore Drive, closed to traffic

I would have walked further south but since the Lakefront path is currently buried in drifts and drags of snow, it would have taken me hours! :)
