Snowy Mornings on Lake Michigan

The beaches of Lake Michigan get crowded during the summer, especially on the weekends. Winter is quite a different story. These two winter scenes might show one reason why crowds are not a problem on snowy mornings on Lake Michigan.

Both photos were taken from Lakeview Beach – Indiana Dunes National Park. The images are from two different mornings and facing opposite directions.

Winter on Lake Michigan looks a bit dramatic, don’t you think?

  1. lovely scenes…..but it looks really cold.

    1. We do have some very cold days in the Midwest. We are enjoying a little more warmth today. 😉

  2. Beautiful shots. Looks cold though.

    1. Thanks! Winter has definitely arrived. 😊❄️

  3. It does look beautiful! At first, I was looking hard to see if that were ducks in the first photo on the ice/water. I couldn’t help myself 😁

    1. That’s too funny! Thinking it was a bit too icy even for ducks. Now I am wondering where they go when it is that cold. 🤔

  4. Indiana Dunes is a wonderful place but I’ve never seen it in winter. That second photo especially was very dramatic. I went with winter too for mine. Winter can be very dramatic!
