Daily Minneapolis Photography - Street Scenes, Wildlife & Weather

Minneapolis Photographer Mitch Rossow’s daily photos of Minneapolis and the Twin Cities.

Lake Delton, WI

I stopped in the Wisconsin Dells on my way back across Wisconsin this weekend. As you may know, the damn broke and the whole lake washed down river last week. This photo was taken near the stream that feeds the lake. There is some water coming back in, but as you can see from the dock and the boat lying on the ground, the lake is gone. The water is only a few inches deep, just puddles caught in the sand. I walked out on the boat landing and jumped down to the lake bottom to take this picture.

More Lake Delton photos tomorrow!

I like this picture, the balance between the earth and sky…sorry about your town going under

The photo tells it all, lake is gone. The video is a bit emotional; tough to see someones home destroyed like that. Reality can be harsh and not so pleasant.
