Frozen tentacles

Strange old weather we've been having here this week. Saturday, the day before this picture was taken, we had a pleasant -17c as a night time temperature. Sunday morning when I ventured out to a lake to get this shot I stood in -10c conditions waiting for the sunrise to appear. Sadly this was the best it got. Monday we had an almighty snow storm come through only for it to turn +4c and rain. Lots of rain. Today we're back at -6c.

 

Anyway I was glad it was cold enough for the lake to freeze over so that someone could toss a rock out when the ice was a little thinner and then freeze over into this pattern. Not often I get to walk on water, I didn't go too far out - probably 10 meters from the edge but still - I walked on water!
