14 Foot Waves

I'd suggest everyone brave the snow to go check out the lake this afternoon. The waves are huge and the lake is a warzone of chop. Waves this big rarely happen here and are worth the drive to see, even if you don't shoot, its worth seeing them smash the pier or the ice on shore.

Symbolism (some evocation)

Roswell NM, 2000.

Evoke

1.	to call up or produce (memories, feelings, etc.): to evoke a memory.

2.	to elicit or draw forth: His comment evoked protests from the shocked listeners.

3.	to call up; cause to appear; summon: to evoke a spirit from the dead.

4.	to produce or suggest through artistry and imagination a vivid impression of reality: a short passage that manages to evoke the smells, colors, sounds, and shapes of that metropolis.
