It looks like diamond rosettes all over. It’s beautiful.

The lower left piece resembles the Iberian Peninsula (Portugal and Spain), and the piece above it looks like Scandinavia. Geographic pareidolia lives.

  Not my vision but any pareidolia is good pareidolia.

  Yes, I can see those too – the first thing I thought of! (Probably because I look at our weather maps so often.)

  It was certainly cold enough to freeze breath.

I think it should have been the cover art for Katherine Anne Porter’s book Pale Horse, Pale Rider.

  I am not familiar with that title but I’d gladly supply a cover photo for a published book. Thanks for thinking it appropriate.

I give up. I see ice. Ice which has been really well-photographed.
Reckon I need to hone my pareidolic sensibilities.

  One might say it’s a self-portrait, Wally. Of course one might also say that about every photograph we make.
