There's a Facebook site dedicated to my hometown. People have been sharing photographs there of the town and the surrounding environs and I came across this absolutely amazing photograph:
That, my friends, is why I chose to live in a place where winter has been known to last 7 months and subzero temps have some times lasted an entire month at a time.
That is Lake Superior, in winter.
I have no idea who took this amazing shot but I'm going to try and find out because I'd like to get a professional print of it.
I look at this photograph and I can feel the peace and quiet of The Greatest of The Great Lakes surround me.
I can feel the background chatter fall silent.
I spend my work time answering to other people; their demands, their problems, their headaches and it overwhelms me at times.
This place is solitude. It is calm. It is magic.
And I wouldn't give it up for anything.

I'm not surprised you understand it. I feel the exact same way. Just looking at the photo gives me a sense of peace.
