Boathouse

 Reflections at Jackson's Point, Lake Simcoe

These photos were taken in December before ice and snow covered Ontario.

A longer view


Yesterday (Thursday)

No reflections yesterday. The ice was so thick that cars were parked on it, so I walked on water (frozen, that is) to take this photo. They've put up a new sign on the building since last December.

    What a serene scene, and I salute your courage in walking on water... even frozen!

    Great reflections in the first shot. You are brave to walk on water, I'm not sure I would trust it.

    The cars were parked on the ice.. incroyable! I just can't even imagine that EG. Boathouses always remind me of elegant days gone by :)

    Quite a contrast in seasons, EG. I assumed it had to be a business... how many private boathouses would be that big?

    Thanks for showing the two 'seasons' in this post. I think I prefer the watery reflections. I know I prefer those weather conditions.

    Amazing ice and what terrific reflections for the day!! We did see ice/snow like this when we lived in Montana, but certainly not recently or here in Portland! Hope you have a wonderful weekend! Stay warm!!

    Great series. I like how we get a glimpse of the second story in the first shot, then the full view of the building, and then a reminder of lingering winter.

    Ah, good old Bonnie Boats. Haven't been up to Jackson's Point for ages, perhaps I might go in the summer. Love the reflections on the water.

    That boathouse has some great reflections as does the dock. Not too long before that ice melts.

    You should link this to Geometric Friday ... great shots and love the comparison of now vs then. Looking forward to the "then" version if you get my gist. Nice post ...

    These are really good reflections! And I have never seen a boat house like this! Now to the function...do rich people keep their boats there?

    Defined reflections. I have never seen a boat house design that includes a framing of an alternative colour like this. Great for reflections.

    I think it is going to be a late thaw, EG! Did you read about the guy who was trying to walk across Lake St Clair from Detroit to Windsor - he had to be rescued. I wonder if he had his passport? ;-)

    It's in you is still very cold winter, I'm sorry. I prefer to look at the reflection in the water than on ice. Regards.
