Sunlight and Clouds

Hazy sun over icy water, Whitby Harbour on Lake Ontario

Last Tuesday it looked cold and it WAS!  But the sun was shining! (sort of)

In the above photo between the fence and the breakwater, it looked like the harbour was only partially covered in ice. Actually, it was ALL ice, some of which (the part that's blue) had melted in the past and then refrozen.

 Light at Whitby Harbour

The second photo was taken the same day to the left of the first and, as you can see, is further out into Lake Ontario where the air was hazier as well as cloudier.

Another photo of the light

    Wonderful photos - I love the feeling of winter that comes out in them. I'm also glad we're not having that kind of winter weather here in Washington state - just rain and wind, which is fine with me.

    Whitby harbour looks like a great place for photographs in winter and summer. You've certainly captured the icy water and rocks that foretell how cold it is.

    When I was in Montana over the holidays I saw steam coming off the water ... it was -13F ... I wonder how cold it has to get before steam will float above the water? Beautiful pictures.

    That's a beautiful view. It looks so serene and undisturbed.

    Re: lake in my blog
    People do skate in other places so nobody really takes time to clean it. I guess people don't like skating at that exact lake right at the city centre.

    I take it you wandered away from your home area to take these wonderful shots of the Whitby Harbour. It does look like a chilly day by the shore, a fine day to be bundled up for a brisk walk!
