Default Incredible Waves Near My Place

This is Lake Erie, just down from my place. In the Summer, we lie on the beach, swim and sail on this lake, but in the Fall, the lake gets wild. It's amazing, the difference there is between the Summer lake and the Fall lake. Here are some pictures from a local photographer that you might enjoy. Scroll down to see them.

Wow! Those waves are incredible. Thanks for sharing. I'm used to rough water on the Oregon coast but it's nothing like that.

Those are scary, beautiful, but definitely something to stay away from!

Good grief, I've never seen waves like that on any of the lakes we have around here! I've heard the Great Lakes waves can get pretty treacherous but have never seen pictures of them. This was quite an eye-opener for me.
