'Winter Blues' First Ice
11-9-2018 9-10-48 AM
ƒ/14.0 - 18.0mm - 1/200th - ISO 100
With no wind to speak of during the night, and temps dropping to minus 14c below. The lake partly froze over to about 200ft from the shoreline.
Then, after a slight dusting of snow this morning, and the early Sunshine - ‘Voila’, something for the shadows to fall on.
Just prior to this shot, and with the combination of frigid air touching the warmer unfrozen lake waters, a virtual wall of steam arose some 30ft above the surface of the water. Weird to look at to say the least.
The steam soon disappeared with a brisk breeze, which was pushing the wave action against the ice edge. Making the loose shards of ice vibrate against each other, sounding like a multitude of small bells ringing in the distance.
For one moment I thought perhaps Christmas had come early !!
