Fractures and bubbles in ice on a pond near Telluride, Colorado. I have dozens of photos of ice but always enjoy finding new subjects and compositions each winter.

Driving winds polish the ice to reveal deep fractures traversing Dream Lake.
Dream Lake, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado.
'Twas the morning after Christmas, and I was the first person on the trail. The temperature was 14°F with high, sustained winds and gusts well over 50 mph. I was tasked with route finding and breaking trail by headlamp. The wind had driven snow drifts across the trail and in some places I was postholing to my waist with snowshoes on. I reached the lake with time to spare, but the wind was punishing, blowing directly into my face all morning. It was strong enough to knock me over and push me across the ice at one point. At first, I was worried there the mountains would remain hidden in the clouds and blowing snow. But, as the light breached the horizon, they started to peak through. The light continued to get better all morning. I worked my way across the lake from East to West, finding interesting foregrounds. This was one of the last images I captured on the lake, and it is easily my favorite from the morning.

Glass perforated and shattered by gunfire. It was in a guard house in the Savanna Army Depot. Why is it called chicken wire when it isn't even made with chicken?
Another holiday for Jak and I. This time two weeks in the South Island of New Zealand. While we were there, we booked a heli-hike on Fox Glacier.
The helicopter took us for a quick flight up to the top of the glacier before dropping us off for a 4 hour guided walk. Absolutely awesome.
Fox Glacier is one of the few rapidly advancing glaciers left in the world. Its been on the march about a metre a week for the last 15 years. Take that global warming!!! (actually its because of the dry hot winds coming off Australia, picking up moisture and dumping it as snow. Climate change is to blame/thank).
You can see a wider view of the tunnel here.
This has appeared before. in my stream but it bothered me that the glasses were disjointed.
Getting ready to submit this into a competition so would be interested in critical feedback.
This is repost of a photo originally posted 18 months ago, just had to give it the fractalius treatment.
This is a crop of the last shot. Thanks for the suggestion Kerri :o)
This is my first photo that's made it into Explore woohoo! :o) Thanks for all the kind words and views!

I came across one of my picture frames in the attic today which had unfortunatly broken, but instead of thinking damn what an unfortunate event i thought cool! (not in those words obviously!) I had an idea already to use a mirror shattered into pieces as a future shot but seeing as the glass was there thought id give it a go. It was very hard trying to get the glass to reflect some light but not too much it was glaring, also i had to put in some reflections as i was no where near the glass during shot! Anyway despite that and my computer almost crashing i believe it came out well. Gave me another idea too, hope you like!
To be frank, the condition where awful, the wind was so strong the water on Derwent water looked like the sea.
My first time at the Millenium Stone.
Thankfully IS on the lens helped counter camera shake from the wind.
Also, I now don't like the crop :D
The lake ice is a diaphragm, like a drum head, moved by forces above and below until it meets an impediment and fractures.
First ice on the Loretta flowage, Brunet river, Wisconsin.
An experimental day today. I put together a real kaleidoscope with three first surface mirrors, something I've been meaning to do for a long time. The geometry is slightly out, made worse by the camera lens not being central, resulting in this fractured look. I was also quite surprised by all the peripheral detail creeping in around the edges.

Incidentally, despite what the exif says, this was actually taken on the 13th... I finally got round to resetting the time on my Gopro, only to discover I've got am and pm wrong and it's 12 hours out. Obviously this wasn't taken at 10.45 pm!
Fractured Stone Landscape. © Copyright 2016 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
A small subalpine lake, fractured granite slabs, and peaks on the Sierra Nevada crest.
This is the sort of Sierra Nevada landscape that usually appeals most strongly to me — that terrain just below the upper limits of trees, where small lakes and tarns dot the landscape, small meadows lie among them, high peaks tower, and rocks and slabs and boulders are everywhere. The latter — the "rocks and slabs and boulders" — are the most defining element of this landscape, all the way from the granite underfoot to the fractured faces and ridges of the peaks.
This spot, high in the Eastern Sierra, is essentially "at the end of the trail," as the maintained trail ends at a lake just beyond the low saddle between the foreground and the more distant peak. It is a wonderful place for wandering, as the open terrain is conducive to route finding — this is country where it is possible to say, "I think I'll go there," and then find a clear route to "there."
