An unique nature scene of Waukegan Municipal Beach, it was my first time to see the frozen and icy surface of Lake Michigan under the winter sun. 😊😊

To me...
This is a very quiet and peaceful sunset moment, the frozen lake surface looks like a piece of mirror. 
Do you agree my point of view? 😊 😊 😊
