Brenda Leigh made a trek on her snowshoes, along the Lake Superior shoreline in the Brimley area and she found a number of “blow holes” that had formed from wave action and the cold weather on the Big Lake. She said none of these pictured here were “active” the day she was there, meaning when ice and water blow out of them 10 to 15 feet high on a windy day. The wind kicks up the waves and they splash up through these holes that are formed by that wave action. Brenda said they resemble little huts and some of them are big enough to live in. You can see her snowshoe tracks to the one, but because she was alone that day, she did not go inside, but only to the rim. They almost seem a little alien like, mysterious in a way, too.

Check out the wind turbines over in Canada, in Brenda’s second photo. She said they are high on a hill over there and they catch much of the winds that come through those parts.

We’re heading just a little further east for today’s video, to Sault Ste. Marie, MI for a look at their annual Ice Festival, held each February. This year’s is already in the books, but the video gives you a peek at some of the sculptures that were made for the 2019 Ice Festival. The video is shared by the I Love the Soo Facebook page.

I never knew about the Soo ice sculptures. Very nice. I also like the tables or pedestals.

About that last blow hole picture... Did something/someone disappear into the hole or did something just come out of it?
