Description
The Langmuir streets in the surface of the lake always interest me. Singleton Lake is just south of the eastward extension of the Lake Ontario lake breeze convergence line. As a result convection tends to ripple along just to the north of the lake. Lyndhurst and Delta often gets soaked while Singleton stays on the sunny side of the street. This particular towering cumulus was probably over Seeley's Bay at the time of my painting. We missed the shower entirely.
Distinct bands of calm water were parallel to the strong southwesterly winds above the surface of the lake. These bands in the water reveal the associated vertical motions therein. I like to think of elongated helical tubes stretched out along the direction of the strong winds. The three-dimensional circulation in these helical tubes interact and these bands result in every fluid whether it be water or the atmosphere.
