A nearly one ton white Italian marble crucifix lies 24 feet under water in Little Traverse Bay. It was placed years ago as a memorial to divers.

When the conditions are right, usually early March a group of divers make an access opening in the ice, dive down to clean the algae off the cross and prepare for visitors who trek across the ice about 600 yards from Bay Front Park in Petoskey. It's been more than ten years since I've had a chance to go out there and Saturday was a beautiful crisp sunny winter day so Jim and I headed to the waterfront.

We had a little fun with the ice formations along the way.

On the way back to shore a rainbow peeked through the clouds as the sun sank lower in the sky.
