Owing to a unique confluence of weather
conditions, photographer Joshua Nowicki encountered an extraordinary
sight when he went for a walk on the shore of Lake Michigan near the
city of St. Joseph last weekend – bizarre towers of sand standing as
tall as 12in (30cm).
It turns out that the towers were a
unique combination of the intense cold and the wind blowing off of the
enormous lake. The wind eroded the frozen sand, leaving behind these
curious wind-blasted towers.
The beautiful spectacle was short-lived,
however – when he returned later to capture more photos of the strange
phenomenon, they had already been melted by the snow.
