Icehenge Archives - Window to Wildlife - Photography by Jim Edlhuber

I got the report from a friend that the “Icehenge” on Rock Lake has returned in 2016. This location is on Rock Lake in Lake Mills Wisconsin. What an awesome piece of art and put together well by a group of local artists and craftsmen. It was similar to the Icehenge the group put up last year in 2015. The ice was actually cut near the structure, dragged over to the site and the upper pieces muscled up on top. One person I ran into there today that helped in this construction of this event told me there was a small structure that is put up near Icehenge a couple hundred feet away called an “altar” if I heard it correct. Images of the altar are below. When standing in the middle of the Icehenge as the sun sets on Friday the 29th, the sun should set on the top of the altar and light should point to the middle of the Icehenge location. He said the math was done on this, and if that actually happens is yet to be seen. It was a fun photo op for a few minutes on a cold and windy day out on the lake. Thanks Paula! Images were taken on January 27, 2016.

Altar

In the moonlight!

I got the report of the “Rock Lake Icehenge” early this morning on Rock Lake in Lake Mills Wisconsin. What an awesome piece of art! I had some free time and thought I would check it out. It was a cool but different type of photo opportunity. I got out on ice and gave it a shot with the camera. This is a very interesting piece of art, and cool as how it was made. The ice was actually cut near the structure, dragged over to the site and the upper pieces muscled up on top. It was put together well considering lake ice. The ice is even on the structure as the way it sits in the lake. It was a cold day out on the lake with a high of only 12 and stiff winds. Thanks to the team of guys that put this art piece together and a great job doing it, sharing their talents, and getting the word out for others to see and photograph too! I have to admit it was a challenge to get some shots!
