The subject is melting ice cubes on a tray with water that has blue dye added. Natural sunlight through glass doors.
Some facts on water....
There is the same amount of water on Earth as there was when the Earth was formed. The water from your faucet could contain molecules that dinosaurs drank.
Nearly 97% of the world’s water is salty or otherwise undrinkable. Another 2% is locked in ice caps and glaciers. That leaves just 1% for all of humanity’s needs — all its agricultural, residential, manufacturing, community, and personal needs.
Water regulates the Earth’s temperature. It also regulates the temperature of the human body, carries nutrients and oxygen to cells, cushions joints, protects organs and tissues, and removes wastes.
75% of the human brain is water and 75% of a living tree is water.
A person can live about a month without food, but only about a week without water.
Water is part of a deeply interconnected system. What we pour on the ground ends up in our water, and what we spew into the sky ends up in our water.
Water expands by 9% when it freezes. Frozen water (ice) is lighter than water, which is why ice floats in water.
Many thanks for your visit, comments and favs...it is always appreciated.

Raleigh, North Carolina - Shelley Lake
On a photo walk I captured these tiny buds completely enclosed by ice. Winter makes for some excellent photo opportunities! I hope we have more snow this season....
It took two days until the ice cubes and the tray were frozen the way I wanted them to be.
Photographed with a selective focusstack at 2300 Kelvin color temperature.

Hat zwei Tage gedauert bis die Eiswürfel und der Teller so gefroren waren wie ich es wollte.

Jökulsárlón (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈjœːkʏlsˌaurˌloun̥], literally "glacial river lagoon") is a large glacial lake in southeast Iceland, on the edge of Vatnajökull National Park. Situated at the head of the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier, it developed into a lake after the glacier started receding from the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. The lake has grown since then at varying rates because of melting of the glaciers. It is now 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) away from the ocean's edge and covers an area of about 18 km2 (6.9 sq mi). It recently became the deepest lake in Iceland, at over 248 metres (814 ft), as glacial retreat extended its boundaries. The size of the lake has increased fourfold since the 1970s. It is considered one of the natural wonders of Iceland.

I tried this technique before without success. This time I used distilled water and the frozen ice came out much clearer!
I had to work fast as it is hot here.
while documenting the most recent texas freeze, i decided to use a straight out of camera fuji recipe that i've been cooking up, trying to simulate 70s motion picture film with a moderately heavy color shift and high contrast. based on pro neg high.
shot with a fujifilm x-s10 and a tamron adaptall 2 sp 80-200mm f/2.8 (model 30A) lens
Gib mir noch ein bisschen mehr. Vom Sommergefühl.

In terms of calendar, summer will be over in two days – and I have the vague feeling that I have not yet enjoyed enough of these refreshing drinks. Even if in other parts of the world it was catastrophically too hot, burned too much or rained too much. Which in turn gives me no plausible reason to complain ... Nevertheless, I always get something like sentimental when the days get shorter. And the last few days have been pretty rain-watered ... Cheers ;-)

Kalendarisch ist der Sommer in zwei Tagen vorbei – und ich habe das unbestimmte Gefühl, dass ich noch nicht genug von diesen erfrischenden Drinks genossen habe. Auch wenn es in anderen Teilen der Welt katastrophal viel zu heiß war, zuviel gebrannt oder geregnet hat. Was mir wiederum keinen plausiblen Grund gibt, mich zu beschweren ... Gleichwohl werde ich immer so etwas wie sentimental, wenn die Tage kürzer werden. Und die letzten Tage waren ziemlich regenverwässert ... Prost ;-)

here is the matching song / hier der passende Song dazu:
"Hey coach, have a heart - it's time to break out of the cube we've been in all year and play some hockey."
Small heart from the Tin Man Lego set frozen in an ice cube - don't worry kids - I'll return it.
Take care, stay safe and be n-ICE 😃
Jökulsárlón ends at the Diamond Beach.
It is a beautiful black sand beach where you can see ice-cubes and crystals that are washed up from the sea, which is actually very beautiful especially at dawn, sunrise or sunset because then light illuminates the icebergs.

Macro Mondays ~ In Ice
I had a ice cube tray filled with a variety of objects, these colors and shapes really stood out over the others. And my melting prop quickly reset in ice cold Chicago temps on my window ledge!
HMM to All :)
A plastic "glass" of ice water shot with the Olympus E-P1 with the Ricoh Rikenon P 50mm F1.7 lens using a Pentax K Mount adapter.
Upps. Das hier ist wohl doch nicht der Ozean.

... yes, the pond seems a bit too small ... I had promised to show the ice cube on which later the currant did swim (see: flic.kr/p/24FZ3Mv) - so here is the original fish, even a little melted ;-)

... ja, ein bisschen zu klein scheint das Gewässer oder der Tümpel zu sein ... Ich hatte ja versprochen, den Eiswürfel zu zeigen, auf der dann später die Johannisbeere geschwommen ist (siehe: flic.kr/p/24FZ3Mv) - hier also der Original-Fisch, auch schon etwas geschmolzen ;-)
