Christmas Day – Wishek 2014

Christmas Day. Around 4 PM, I drove into the countryside. The sky was foggy and dusk was settling in.  First stop, Green Lake. I zoomed in on these ice fishing houses.

An old homestead sits nearby. Settlers built the home from sod bricks, then later framed, over the bricks.
