The singing lake (in Explore 11-08-2022)

Probably the most spectacular experience I had during my trip to the Dolomites was at this lake (lago del Sorapis). Not only superb scenery.

 

In the morning this lake was frozen, but then the sun came out on parts of the ice, and the lake started producing sounds, that best can be compared with a singing saw. This is caused by tensions in the ice, because the ice was still very thin. And also explosions could be heard, when the ice breaks and cracks appear in different locations. A memory I will never forget.

 

The picture here is an ultra stitched panorama of ca 20 portrait shots, later put together in and by Lightroom. I have numerous shots of this lake in all sort of directions, and it was really difficult what to post here.
