High Surf
Cold, Gray and Wind
Michigan City, Indiana


The winds have changed and now seem to primarily blow from the north, across the length of Lake Michigan, cooling down the Indiana shoreline, and picking up the surf.

It's no longer a comfortable walk along the beach, yet it's still attractive. The high surf has washed away much of the beach in spots, in fact, at one point of the beach, the surf has taken away over 7 feet of the dune, creating a 7 foot wall of sand at the shore.

It was at this point I found the large shell in the lake. It's got to be a shell from warmer, salt water just dropped along the beach or washed away from someone's property.
