The Emerald Green Lake



Yachts and cruise ships glide leisurely on the emerald green lake, while the sight of children splashing in the fountain at the park provides a refreshing respite from the sweltering heat. When sudden rainstorms unexpectedly sweep through the area, the cool rain and gusts of wind work together to wash away the oppressive midsummer heat.



Lake Michigan, with its vast expanse of emerald green water, resembles an ocean rather than a mere lake. Cruise ships gracefully navigate the waters, while towering buildings form a forest-like backdrop around the lake. The bridges that span across the lake allow for the passage of large cruise ships, underscoring the vital role that this body of water plays in the transportation and recreation culture of the area.
