I figured many of you would enjoy some shots of Lakeside, in a very different setting. No people, no boats, no bikes....not much of anything. I'm not sure if the cottages pictured are famous, but they are in quite the location, overlooking the Pavilion.
No swimmers, no sailboats, no children running hither. Just some dirty snowdrifts, ice floes and cold temps. It was very peaceful, calm and so quiet. I swore I could hear summer whispering in my ear, but I know that is very far away yet. My mind wanders to try and visualize this area on 4th of July. You see, I rarely spent any time in Lakeside, so this all seems quite natural to me.
The Hotel stands like a guardian of the shore. I wonder how much longer this building will stand here. I always hear conjecture about her structural integrity and vulnerability. I have never been in the Hotel, at least not past the dining room and lobby. I wonder what famous people have stayed here. What about any ghosts?
The Pavilion is a real jewel here. This was a wonderful addition and so pleasant to look out over the dock and lake. Lakeside reminds me alot of Mackinac Island in Michigan and a little of Key West...no offense. All very different and unique destinations, but all sharing that common charm that relaxes and reinvigorates the soul in their own ways.
