Now for my 2nd imagery for the Macro task for "In Ice" I created a lit fairy light frozen in ice, created from a pastry cutter, representing a flower, and through this evoking Winter and the Pandemic, and all of us waiting for the thaw of Spring to arrive, literally and metaphorically.
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
Given enough wind and waves, the sheet ice that once filled this bay on the St. Lawrence gets pulverized.

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.

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.

Crazy Tuesday: Frozen in ice
I froze various things -- mainly leaves -- into leaf-shaped ice cubes. However, the leaf-in-a-leaf cubes didn't work out, and the stars did.
Gently backlit through a little cave of white cotton "snow" and dryer lint "grass".
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.
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:

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.

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 ;-)
