Ice sculpture

(US Coast Guard / The Associated Press)

This looks pretty cool, doesn't it?

A giant ice sculpture, an abstract form of crystalline water.

Which just happens to be the Cleveland Harbor West Pierhead lighthouse... after a winter storm.

It's completely useless. Seafaring folks were left to their own devices as they couldn't see the light.

Oops!

  2. It looks like a big cake.

    I spent a few years with the Coast Guard stationed in Cleveland but I was lucky enough to land a cushy desk job, thank God.

  4. That is amazing! We Just don't get the extremes of weather here (just lots of rain)

  5. Wow! It looks like someone knitted a particularly vile Christmas sweater for the lighthouse.
