Genesis IV

Winter comes to the Stonewave. This year the ice dunes formed late, but they made up for that shortcoming by being spectacular. Great forms. I spent a lot of time down on the beach this winter. One of the most amazing things about working down there in the winter is the sound, or absence of sound. No surf noise. Just quiet. All year long you hear the incessant pounding of hissing of the surf, but in the winter it is locked up and you are down there alone with the wind. When you look out over the lake it is an unworldly view. The surface of Europa or the Arctic. A good place to spend some time.

The one view is from out on the surface of the lake looking back at the first ice dune with the Stonewave behind it. There is about thirty yards between the dune and the stones, but the dune still dwarfs the structure.
