Read MoreLake Superior Ice Shards Grand Marais 001
With the cold temperatures a lot of ice has formed on Lake Superior. When the ice forms on the lake I am always anxiously waiting for east winds to pile the ice along the shore creating beautiful ridges of blue ice. It happened last week and ice shards are piled up along the shore from Duluth to Grand Marais.

At sunrise the colors are even more beautiful. Scenes like this are one of the many reasons Grand Marais is currently in the lead for “America’s Coolest Small Town”.

A light snow the previous night covered the shards with a soft layer of white adding to the winter landscape.
All of these photos have been taken from standing on rock. Remember it is never safe to go out on Lake Superior ice along the North Shore. It can break and drift out at any time.
Again don't forget to vote if you like Grand Marais. http://ow.ly/JdAJZ
