The ice of frozen Lake Michigan
The ice of frozen Lake Michigan crumbled into fragments. This is a rare and very spectacular spring phenomenon.
The polar vortex kept Lake Michigan frozen for much of the winter. In Chicago, Illinois, for example, peak temperatures reached -30ºC, causing ice shelves to form on the lake—mounds created by waves crashing against existing ice formations.
But everything ends sooner or later. Spring brought warming to the region, destroying the previously thick layer of ice and turning the region into a magical wonderland.
As water moved under the ice, ice sheets began to form and eventually began to overlap each other, creating amazing patterns that could be seen along almost the entire South Haven pier.

Tanzania 🇹🇿, Zanzibar island
Traditional boat in the heavenly waters of Zanzibar ⛵️
Boats in Zanzibar are called Dhows. Dhows (or dhows) are sturdy teak boats with a distinctive triangular sail.
There are many forms of dhow, the first were dugouts with teak strips nailed to the sides, which formed the sides. There were no nails at that time and the boats were “stitched together” using coconut fiber.
To preserve Swahili traditions, dhows continue to be built on the Tanzanian coast.
These are the boats that are now the main ones among Zanzibar fishermen, and they also take tourists on them.

By the following year, the man had grown to be 15 feet, and by 1988, the man was 40 feet tall. By 1990, a few of these folks decided to branch off and have a separate shindig in the Black Rock Desert, and so it began.
