Ice on the beach

The winter season has its drawbacks but it also presents wonders of nature, especially when the ice of Lac La Biche Lake gives way to spring and accumulates on the surrounding lakeshore.

Local photographer Jaime Lundrigan captures a great shot of ice on the beach at Sir Winston Churchill Park.
