The first Macro Monday challenge I've had the chance to do for weeks!
Since I missed most chances to photograph our recent snow and ice, this was some compensation and I learnt how to make distilled water for clearer ice too. Bonus!
The frame is exactly 3 inches across.
I had to go out to the IceCube-Lab to get an air Cherenkov telescope running on the roof. So I used that opportunity to take a panorama selfie ;)
This is a view to the southeast where the power dam is at the horizon, and the NY State Adirondack mountains behind.

What a pain it has been to photography these little *ahem*. I now also have a blue puddle to clear up on the floor. I'm just hoping the food colouring doesn't stain....too much.
i have been quite enjoying the MacroMonday challenge this week - making ice cubes with things inside them has been full of small surprises especially the bubbles and opaque crystals that form patterns in the ice.
Lots of rejected ice cubes are now melting alongside the few that i liked. Several didn't even get a camera pointed at them. But now I cant work out what is best from the 3 that have made my short list for posting to the MacroMonday group.

I chose this one in the end!
While on Holiday we dined at Rhein Haus in Leavenworth, WA, a Bavarian Village in the Cascade Mountains. It was a 1.5 hour wait to be seated in the outdoor dining area with all the Covid protocol. Temperature was 32 °F , 0 °C. What one will do for the Best Bratwurst!(No pun intended.😊) I picked up my glass of ice water and saw this cool effect of the tabletop gas lava fire burner through the bottom of the glass. It was so cool, I had my husband hold the glass, while I took this shot. Haha, it's the little things. HCT!
A macro view of a collection of unfrozen colorful reusable ice cubes. The frame represents a span of 2¾ - inches across.
Strobist info:
The scene was illuminated by a single Nikon SB900 speedlight positioned at 10-o'clock, two-feet away from and one-foot above the cubes. It was fired in Manual mode @ â…› - power through a Neewer 24" x 24" soft box.
The SB900 was triggered by two PocketWizard Plus X flash triggers.
Lens: Tokina AT - X M100 AF PRO D (AF 100mm f / 2.8 Macro).

HMM -- three objects, three textures.
Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.

I wanted to try both side of the theme in a tricky way.
So I cut a candle to get the candle wick (and some candle wax) and a put it in a ice cube.
After a bit of time, I had my icecube candle. I made it spinning when I saw it had already started to melt :)
HMM all :)
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.

Today here at South Pole we had an awesome view at the full moon. So I took this picture when the moon and the IceCube Lab building were in the same frame. The moon was very bright, so I had to take three images and merging them. So this is a composite image.

The sun has set here at South Pole now, but there is still twilight and the sky is glowing purple these days. Due to the high winds the snow is forming beautiful ice sculptures.
Happy Macro Monday !
Balance the perfect theme for me : I have been "Hanging in the Balance" after my husband severely cut his hand at work. Fifty stitches and surgery to reattach tendons but all is looking much better. Thank goodness for Wonderful skilled physicians !
The other day we had some beautiful broad auroras over the DarkSector here at South Pole. They also had some nice green and purple color.

Not sure where I was going with this one! But, I ended up here!
Plastic ice cubes, Lenser P7, quality street wrappers and some back fibres.
Where the chuff do I go from here!
For the past couple of weeks our temperatures have been below freezing early mornings until the sun comes up. Typically not today so I resorted to the freezer for this one. Frozen but thawing fast.

I is for Ice cubes
Ice cubes - something most of us are familiar with and use on a daily basis. Since the invention of the ‘automatic ice maker’, now found in most freezers, they are also probably an item we more or less take for granted.
Back in the day, as some folks say, we used metal ice trays, like the one shown in the front left corner, filled with water and placed in the freezer until the water froze and voilà , you had ice cubes! Indeed, a little more labor intensive, but necessary if you wanted, say, iced tea on a warm afternoon. Then, later on, plastic ice cube trays were introduced, providing ice cubes in a variety of shapes for special occasions.
In honor of Valentine’s Day, just around the corner, I made heart shaped ice cubes from one of those plastic trays I’ve had for years.

Also making an appearance, on that little plate, are some very uncooperative ice cubes in the shape of Christmas trees, and so typical of being a cat, the most uncooperative ice cube of all, that cat shaped blob which refused to stand up, no matter what I tried.
Just take my word for it! LOL!

On Sunday we old and new IceCube winter-overs walked out to ICL to do inclinometer measurements of the DOMs in the ice. It was a relatively stormy day, but the weather was better than it is right now. Today it is blowing snow and the temperature is increased to -30C.
This week's Macro Mondays theme is Hot or Cold ... I took an ice cube and placed it on a teaspoon and, as you can see I lit a match to cover both hot and cold ... here is the effect.
Today we had quite a few wonderful auroras here at South Pole. Also I had to go out to the IceCube Lab to repair a broken GPS time information card in one of the DOM hub computers. After work I went outside and took this image. It was pretty windy. So my camera and my hands got very cold very fast ;)
For the Macro Mondays Theme: Cold
Thank you for your time, faves and comments, it's much appreciated.

October and freezing nights begin. The warm sunny days have passed, when ice-cubes in a cooling drink were just what you wanted - and thoughts of hot soup or hot chocolate replace them! Days at the beach are replaced by evenings round the log fire ;o)
I spent today in Photoshop - and took an original photo (in the first comment field) and played around with it for so long that I lost track of exactly how I got to the final image. But it reminded me of sun and sand - and the cooling sound of ice-cubes in a glass.
Processing extensively in Photoshop.
