February 14 – Ice Frame

By mid-February, stronger weather systems roll into the Lake Superior region, bringing powerful winter storms. As waves crash against the shoreline, they sculpt magnificent ice formations along the big lake’s edge — natural works of art that invite you to come witness them in person.

The breakwall in Two Harbors is one of the best places to photograph these displays after a storm. If you carefully walk along the icy surface, you will be rewarded with a front-row view of a transformed landscape. Step out and let the crisp air refresh your senses — making the experience truly unforgettable.

Photography is a wonderful reason to get outside this time of year — whether you’re carrying a professional camera or just using your phone. Invite a friend, bring your family, or simply treat yourself to a creative outing. You aren’t just capturing an image; you’re preserving a memory to cherish for years. This photograph was taken 15 years ago, yet I remember standing there as if it were yesterday.

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” — Psalm 119:105

Christ walks with you—even when your footing feels unsure—and the Bible remains your steady guide, illuminating every step you take, no matter how dark or uncertain the journey may seem.
