While looking up at the ice formations at the East Grand Island Ice Caves, I couldn't help but feel so small standing there. The shear size of these ice columns are truly amazing.
While passing through Charlevoix, Michigan, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to check out the Charlevoix Lighthouse as I have never seen it in person before. I was treated to a very moody lighthouse due to massive fog that was in the area. It was so foggy that I couldn't even see my car parked near the beach. Not only was the fog very cool but some of the ice formation were pretty cool as well. Over the winter the waves created a wall of ice near the railing and with warmer temperatures it caused the ice wall to be hollowed out. If you look closely you can see the stalactites and stalagmites.
While patiently waiting for the sun to rise the twilight glow gave us a beautiful view of what was to come as the early light started to illuminate the beautiful 30-40 foot icicles. Camped out inside the cave I snapped a shot of the crescent moon rising as the stars slowly disappeared.
