Baywatch

A short-time ago the waterscape of Long Point Bay on Lake Erie was swept into waves by autumn winds.

Now, the view across the bay reveals a gray-blue surface . . .

. . . ready for high speed ice boats.

The regular floating type boats are hauled out of the water and suspended inside boat houses lining the frozen waterways.

A blue heron has adapted to the new landscape with a new hunting location - closer to the fish.

Over most of the north shore of Lake Erie, the wind and waves are eroding the shores – but in a few locations the currents have deposited the sands to form long beaches, protected bays, and natural habitat for boaters and water birds.
