Lakewood from Wendy Park.

I was more amazed over the frozen pipe than the lighthouse.

Well until I took out the telephoto lens!

Hi,
Looks like something I'd see on that King of Cakes show.

Great shots!

If you go to the blog I have over 40 photos including!

Matt Markling pointing out a hole in the ice the size of my ass! I swear I did not fall, really!
Do not believe him if he tells you. Besides it is not funny, I could have been hurt.
Well if I had fallen on my ass!

Terrific photos, Jim. Out-of-town relatives tell us they have seen it on their local as well as national news.
We went down to Wendy Park on Thursday night at sunset for a great view. Didn't see Matt.

These are great!!! Thank you for sharing. You know, I have been tossing around the idea of getting a new camera and starting to take pictures. I am lost at what to get. I want it to be good, but on the cheap side since I am just starting out. Any ideas?

These were taken with a camera you can buy today for under $100, using a lens that
is 30 years old, and has no auto anything. Manual focus, exposure, f stops, etc.

While the new Nikon 7 series is great, for most it is overkill.

Best Buys and Amazon have Lumix(Panasonic) Cameras that feature a Zeiss Ikon lens.
These are some of the finest optics in the world. Fits in your pocket, does 14 mega pixels,
10X optical zoom, and video. Takes impressive photos. NOT ALL HAVE ZEISS LENS, you
want the one with ZEISS lens!

Better in the long run for most than a Digital DSL.
Cost is $329.00 new!

Does this mean I am bumping Ivor off the desktop!

I believe that the best photographs are the ones that are shared.
Thank you for asking.
Sure.

Markling saved my life carrying me back over that ice covered pier.
You would have been proud of him. Then he grilled out!
Thank you for risking possible probation. :wink:
