Shadows
The idiots who lay down the cement for our driveway/garage pad miscalculated the drainage, and rather than going toward the alley the water runs toward our house. Because of this, a little lake develops in the spring when the snow melts. It is sufficiently far away from our house, but right next to the garage. In the spring freeze/thaw cycle, it turns to water, then ice, then water... What yo see here is some icy snow (partly in shadow), ice over cement, and then another layer of ice to the right. You can probably make out an oak leaf in the center/top area, and some odd patterns in the frozen area. I intensified the colors, obviously, but the patterns and colors are all there in reality, just less obvious.
