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 ;-)

The several weeks long sunset here at South Pole is incredible. It produces some very nice soft light. Just like a dream. The building is the IceCube Lab.

I did a bunch of these for the MacroMondays "In Ice" challenge.
I wasnt sure which one to post, none really stood out for me.
Anyway I eventually decided to post this one to the group.
For the Macro Monday challenge "in ice" (February 15th 2021)
It was great fun playing with ice-cubes, though cold, of course! I decided to use an ice-cube tray, as it would make sure my macro was really small (roughly 2x3cm) So I filled the tray with tiny objects and scraps of vegetation from the garden. That's where I found this tiny feather too. It looked pretty ordinary when I popped the frozen cube out of the tray, but under the macro lens it looked way more interesting, and strangely like a fish! Mike is much better than me at seeing faces in images (pareidolia) and he tells me there is a face in there too! Hence the title!

HMM!! and stay safe and well this week!

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.
This is a view to the southeast where the power dam is at the horizon, and the NY State Adirondack mountains behind.
Water is the only Element Exists in all Three forms - Liquid, Solid, and Vapour. Here two forms - Liquid and Solid Ice cubes are clicked .
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 ;)
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!
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!

I love Ginger Beer. It's non-alcoholic, which is perfect. It is especially tasty when very cold!
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.
Jökulsárlón, Iceland. September 2015.
This is a close-up photo of a melting ice cube on a plate, with light from an LED lantern refracting through it.
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).
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 :)
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 !
Every year in the beginning of July we go to pick cherries. Pack a cooler with ice and head to the orchard. You drive right into the orchard and find a spot to pick. Many families pack a picnic and play music while picking. A special day it is. Then we make Cherry Almond Jam and Cherry Vodka.
Happy Macro Monday !
