Icehouse

Ice encrusts this lighthouse at Cleveland Harbor, on Lake Erie. It looks like the caverns of Luray or something from another planet or something from Narnia.

Sub-zero air temperatures have caused the water to freeze in multiple layers, coating the entire building in ice. It has also made it virtually impossible for mariners to see the light.

The Cleveland Harbor West Pierhead lighthouse sits at the west end of the breakwater leading to the Port of Cleveland. Contructed in 1911, the lighthouse was automated in 1965 and still flashes its beacon to alert ships every five seconds.
