Middle Bass Island Sunrise

There's something about this October sunrise...

View of Ballast Island From Waterfront Condo 203

Waterfront views from condo 203

September and October are great months to be on Middle Bass island. Here are a few photos taken in the morning from condo 203. All of the condos face Lake Erie, so this view can be seen from every condo.

Glacial Grooving at St. Hazards

The Lake Erie Islands were formed by the retreating glaciers between 7,000 to 10,000 years ago. This past weekend strong winds blew out the water in front of the St. Hazards shoreline to expose the grooves these glaciers caused.

Put-in-Bay and Middle Bass are mostly solid limestone rock below sometimes only a few inches of soil. These conditions made it an ideal place to grow grapes to make wine, but not so good to install water and sewer lines.

If the wind is blowing hard from the west, go down to the waterfront and you'll see what happened thousands of years ago.

Sunrise at St. Hazards

This photo was taken looking towards Ballast Island from the St. Hazards condos. All of the condos have a balcony that faces the water, so all have this same view.

St. Hazards Condo Moon

Not a sunset, but a moon rise!

This photo was taken a few days ago from the third floor of the St. Hazards condo building. During the summer months, the moon is often rising right in front of the building. The moonshine lasts for hours as the moon slowly moves over the building.

All of the condos have direct waterfront views like this that make for some of the best lake views you will ever find. The third floor is the tallest place you can stay on the islands and the condo building is the closest structure built to the lake that you can stay in. A very remarkable place.
