The first was a theme day so today I am starting the year with Three Rivers' lighthouse, which has been preventing kayak and canoe pileups on the river since... er, no, it really is just ornamental. (It does actually have a light, though.) Placed at the spot where the Rocky River joins the broad St. Joseph River, the lighthouse recalls the days before the railroads when commerce flowed along the rivers. The lighthouse is also the city's de facto symbol, used on city vehicles and by local merchants in their advertising.
On January 1, lots of soft, puffy snow. Today, lots of sunshine, 15 degrees F, -9 degrees C.

I would not get in a canoe with this weather !
Does it light up in the night? It's interesting to see.
As I was reading the first sentence I thought to myself 'this can't be true!!!', but you were joking, of course! :-)))
Brrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!
Your temperatures make the cool-for-us temps we've been having a veritable heat wave in comparison1
This is so different from our part of the world. I recently visited the spot where two of our great inland rivers meet ... nothing like this and certainly no snow.
Thanks for the new year greetings -a bit tardy in reply - I am on holidays!
Happy New Year!
A wee reminder of the past glories of river trade.
I would think there would be more ice on the river by now.
Thanks for sharing. The water looks very cold though.
Best regards,

What a beautiful scene. I love lighthouses, even when they are just ornamental.
It looks very pretty - but are you sure you call these rivers???
A beautiful winter landscape - made even more beautiful by the fact that I see it from the comfort and warmth of my house :)
