Methane Bubbles, Abraham Lake, Kootenay Plains, Canadian Rockies

Taken on my recent visit to the Canadian Rockies last Sunday when I drove 90 minutes north to Abraham Lake. It was incredibly cold (-39°c) and reasonably busy although on arriving an hour or so before sunrise, there were only a couple of other cars parked up by the roadside but within five minutes of us arriving, a dozen others arrived. News of my visit must have spread quickly, ha, ha.

 

So I wandered down onto the ice, complete with micro-spikes on the bottom of my snow boots for grip. Trying to find a section of ice that had perfectly formed methane bubbles was tough but I eventually settled on this shot. It lent itself perfectly to portrait format although I opted to shoot several images focusing on various parts of the scene followed by focus stacking them in Photoshop CC.

 

I think it worked out rather well. What do you think?
