Black & White on Lake Pepin

Black & White photographies of Lake Pepin in March

This year in March, Lake Pepin had a layer of blue ice that was 12" or 30cm thick.

During one of our trip related to work we spent a couple of weeks in Lake City MN, located 1h30 from Minneapolis. I had been to Lake City before during summer but not in the winter and it was breathtaking. We had rented a small house through AirBnB that was right in front of Lake Pepin so every morning we could watch the sunrise and the people venturing on the frozen lake. Wondering if I tried walking on the lake? Well yes but it was terrifying me knowing that the ice could break at any point and if it would then... Yes a little too dramatic especially knowing the thickness of the ice and seeing that even cars were parked in the middle of the lake where a few men where ice fishing. I walked on the lake for 10 minutes and didn't go further than 100 feet from the shore!

Lake Pepin is a naturally occurring lake on the Mississippi River on the border between the U.S. states of Minnesota and Wisconsin. It is located in a valley carved by the outflow of an enormous glacial lake at the end of the last Ice Age.

Lake Pepin has a surface area of about 40 square miles (100 km2) and an average depth of 21 feet (6.4 m),[1] It is up to 2 miles (3.2 km) wide and 22 miles (35 km) long.
