The ice arc across the lower part of the photograph reminds me of a strand of seaweed.

Whatever one sees, I am glad the image offers more than ice.

Given the sharp, blade-like formations at the very bottom, I can’t help seeing some sort of marvelous creature on ice skates.

I saw some kind of saw teeth but I like your idea of a skater much better.

Otherworldly and yet, so of this Earth. That’s a gorgeous photo and doesn’t ice make for a good subject?

Ice challenges flowers and frogs for my favorite subject. The others still win over because of temperature but other wis it a close heat. 🙂 Thanks, Tina!

Extraordinary! The detail in this is absolutely beautiful and so crisp that it looks as if the edges of the ice are sharp enough to cut. It’s a picture I could look at for a long time… 🙂
