Subtitle: Monday, Feb 17, 2014 continued a string of cool days, a few weeks with below freezing temperatures and a good bit of ice had developed on Cayuga Lake.  It was about 18&deg;F out.  I went down to Stewart Park, walked out on the ice, and took some pictures.<br/><br/><b>Cayuga Lake Ice 360 Panorama</b><br/><br/>I took a failrly high resolution 360&deg; panoramic photo while standing on Cayuga Lake.  It's a bit big.  Like way too big.  Here's the smaller version: <a href="/images/Photos/CayugaLakeIce/cayuga360_ice_Panorama.jpg"><img src="/images/Photos/CayugaLakeIce/cayuga360_ice_Panorama-sm.jpg"></a><br/>Click on the above image for the bigger version.  I don't have the full-size version online because it's too big to fit in a JPEG.

000-DSC_6226: Looking at the frozen lake from Stewart Park.  
001-DSC_6243: Families were out there enjoying the snow.
002-DSC_6230: While others wandered out onto the ice for their own purposes.
003-DSC_6245: Worm's eye view of the snow.
004-DSC_6246: Or pretending to be an ice-breaker ship.
005-DSC_6253: Cool texture on the ice from snowball fights of yore.
006-DSC_6258: Me! (courtesey of a random friendly person).
007-DSC_6262: 
008-DSC_6266: Ice mountain measured in millimeters.
008a-DSC_6313: More snow textures.
009-DSC_6267: Ice dunes (from 5000 feet up or perhaps just 5).
009a-DSC_6272: Looking out across the lake to the inlet and inlet markers.  I think the circular blob thing with the ring poking out of the ice in the center of the picture is a mooring buoy.
009b-inlet_Panorama: A 3 picture panoramic shot of the inlet (taken from Stewart Park).  The white and red markers for the inlet are pretty visible.
010-DSC_6269: I think it's a marker for a hole in the ice for someone ice fishing.  Either that or a member of the Church of the Eternal Frostbite.
011-DSC_6271: An Ice Fisherman.  He said he had only cuaght 3 fish (perch) today, but had 38 on the weekend.  Also said the ice was around 9 inches deep.
013-DSC_6273: A hole in the ice for ice fishing.
014-DSC_6274: Ice fishing tent.
015-DSC_6307: My shadow and the trail to the ice fishermen.
016-DSC_6308: Ice tundra shot, looking back to Stewart Park by an area of snow where no one had walked.
017-DSC_6309: More tundra snow.
018-DSC_6310: My shadow but <i>no</i> trail to the ice fishermen this time.
019-DSC_6311: Footsteps ahead that abruptly end (yes, they're mine).
021-DSC_6314: Heading back past the place where the kids were having their snowball fight.  I didn't do a &quot;Princess Bride&quot; and reconstruct the battle, but perhaps I should have.
022-DSC_6315: A flock of seagulls flew over the lake in a &quot;V&quot; formation.
023-DSC_6316: A sizeable chunk of ice on top of the snow.  Not sure if it was caused by freezing and thawing or someone was really bored.
024-DSC_6319: Stewart Park (including the metal dock) from the lake.
025-DSC_6320: Some plants on the edge of the shore at Stewart Park.
026-DSC_6321: Frozen driftwood in the snow.
027-stewart_Panorama: A panorama of Stewart Park while standing on the ice on Lake Cayuga.
