Looking out at a frozen Lake Michigan. Would anyone like to have a seat and stay awhile?
These images were captured a couple of years ago at the Portage Lakefront and Riverwalk – Indiana Dunes National Park.
A gallery of summer pics from the Indiana Dunes National Park were featured on “Beyond the Open Gate.”

We haven’t spent much time around Lake Michigan. Looks cold, yet beautiful in the winter. Hope you had a Merry Christmas!
We had a really nice Christmas with our family. I hope you have a wonderful 2026.
Oh my goodness – the bench would not be inviting in that snow and cold at all. That snowy boardwalk leading to the lighthouse looks well-traveled, so many folks chose to brave the elements that day. These are beautiful shots nonetheless, whether you are a snow lover or not! 🙂
Glad you like the images, Linda. Yes, it was cold out there and I didn’t stay long. 😉
Take the photo(s) and run!
I did and I do! 😁
Merveilleuses photos Pepper ! JOYEUX NOËL 🌲🎅
So glad you enjoyed tho pics, Lisa. Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment. 😊
Thanks, Lisa. It was a lovely wintry day. 😊
Wonderful snowy scenes in my 36C days
We’ve got freezing rain this morning with snow in the forecast for later. Send some of your warmth this way, please. 😉
Yesterday was cool, overcast and perfect for lunch with my girls so it looks like the warmth was sent Irene 😁.
Thank you very much. 😉
I can feel the cold in these images all the way out here in California, so even though the images are beautiful I’ll pass on sitting on the bench and staying for a while! Thank for the invite 🙂
I completely understand. I think I’d stay in the warmth of California too. 😉
I wish You Marry Christmas dear Irene🎄🎁🌹
Thanks! I hope all is well with you. 😊
What a beautiful sight. I wouldn’t mind sitting there for a while. Well wrapped up!
Thanks, Jude. Come on over and sit for awhile. 😉
Yup, I definitely recommend dressing in layers. 😉
Judging from the angled icicles on that bridge, bet there was a stiff, cold wind that day! 🌬️❄️💙
Yes, there was! This spot can be treacherous during the winter.
I showed it on my Blog, too. ❄️❄️❄️🎄✨🔔🌟
Thanks, Gisela. 😊
