In 1998 there was heavy snow all winter, followed by a very cool and rainy year. All of the ancient depressions left by massive chunks of glaciers filled with water, creating many new lakes. These lakes are so new they have no outlet. One of them had a dairy farm in it. The house, barn, and other buildings were submerged in water up to 12 feet deep. The owner gave me permission to walk out on the ice and take photos. I placed my Chamonix 4x5, lenses 90/135/180/300mm, and six holders loaded with Ilford FP4+ on a plastic toboggan and walked a quarter mile out on the lake to take these shots over the next three hours.
