Icy Presque Isle

Early winter is one of my favorite times for boat watching. The big boats coming in off the lake with ice covered bows are works of art. Look at the ice coating on the upper bow--incredible.

Santa drops into Bentleyville opening night

Saturday evening was the opening night at Bentleyville in Bayfront Park.  I happened to be in the helicopter that dropped Santa from 6000ft.  With a windchill of -20 and the back door off the copter, old Santa didn't hang around long.
The clear air made for a nice night to take a few photos.
