Today my travels lead me to the shores of Lake Charles and walk from Veterans Memorial Park all the way to Bord du Lac Marina and back. Normally this rather pleasant stretch of adjoining parks along the lake are populated with people fishing, exercising and taking casual walks, but on this chilly December day the area was eerily desolate, quiet and still. You really can't blame people from avoiding the area on a day like this. A major winter storm is on it's way. It may not be here yet, but you can sense it's foreboding conditions aren't far away.
Very seldom can you sense both mood and temperature from a set of photographs, but upon reviewing these images I was pleased to know that I captured the true essence of what it was actually like to be there.
Today may not have been the best day to walk along edge of Lake Charles for most people. As for me it was the kind of weather that I really enjoy. Yes, I love the cold and I really enjoyed the feel of the crisp air on my face. There is something wonderful about the peaceful calm that comes with winter weather
As for tomorrow I may change my tune when the temperatures plummet below 20 degrees. It may have been way too many years since my days living at the base of the Rocky Mountains and experiencing what an actual winter feels like.
