Get Out of the Heat and Into the Ice House

Well, after kvetching about the horrible state of the world in terms of global warming, we thought it might be a nice change to offer you some cool thoughts.

The accompanying picture, of an abandoned waterfront cottage covered entirely in ice was taken in Plymouth Massachusetts.

According to the photographer, the milky white color is achieved through a mix of the salty seawater and sand.

Apparently, not only do several houses in Massachusetts get this treatment in the wintertime, but also a lighthouse in Grand Haven Michigan.
