The Forming
Waves break against the navigation light at the end of Ward’s beach in -20°C weather, building up layers of ice to form a new version of this previous ice sculpture.
Distant Pier
Ice and waves are driven under a hard westerly wind, looking west towards the Centre Island pier from Ward’s Island beach.
Double Double
A photographer stands on the edge of an ice volcano. A risky place to stand, the edges can have an inconsistent density, and can easily collapse under a human’s weight.
Beach Mountaineering
Islanders go mountaineering on Ward’s beach, giving a sense of scale to the amount of ice built up in just over a day.
Inferno
The navigation light on the breakwall at the end of Ward’s beach, coated in ice, points the way to heavy steam coming off of Lake Ontario.
Mars Beach
The sun sets on Ward’s beach, unrecognizable under a thick layer of ice more like a glacier than a freshwater beach.
World’s End
Ice covers the breakwall at the end of Ward’s beach during the deep freeze of January 2014.
