I went for my walk down along the harbor yesterday. When I got to the bottom of Laurel Avenue at the harbor I couldn't believe my eyes! There were two people out on the ice! They were close to shore and carefully walking further out as they explored. I had my camera ready and started blasting away as fast as I could as they moved around on the giant ice blocks. OK, not to panic! It is dead low tide, and all of the ice blocks within a couple of hundred feet of the shore are sitting on the sandbars. They are not floating. I was so excited because suddenly there is a human dimension to all this ice. seeing how small a couple is compared to all the ice makes for a much more interesting photograph than all the others! Human scale can be so important in some landscape photography. This is an extra large image so please click on it.

Wow! what a cool photo. The ice blocks are incredible and how amazing when you put people into the photo in comparison. Trace
Great photo. My first thought was "are they crazy walking on the ice"? Glad to know it was low tide and they were safely exploring. Love the contrast with humans in the photo.
I thought those two people were crazy to be out on the blocks of ice until I read the whole blog. Seems incredible how small they look compared to those huge blocks.
