Ice, Wind Pattern our Lake
Recently as I was busily working in my studio the sky caught my attention. This is early afternoon around 3:00PM looking south west. The lake was empty save a single, tiny, wooden fish house on the distant horizon. The wind has drifted the snow into patterns, some of the lines of hardened snow are from my vanishing ski trails, others from snow machines. I’m looking forward to more snow so that I can circumnavigate the shore again on my skis. Wasilla, Alaska, early January 2010.
