A natural winter oddity to show you...

I'm not sure exactly how this came to be ... dry melting of a large rock-like chunk of ice I suppose ... it was only a foot high, but when lying on the snow in front of it and back-lighting it with the setting sun, it seemed to take on a grander scale... the pillars reminding me of a Greek temple.

shot January 2008 near Silver Islet on the Sibley Peninsula of Lake Superior, Ontario, Canada.

If you'd like, please have a gander at my mini-gallery devoted to Winter on Lake Superior

.

edit: Feb. 2010 : removing thick black frames from selected photos in my gallery and reposting for those who've missed them.

It's been so long.. and I'm not as avid as I used to be with a camera... mostly due to a radically changed life. I will certainly mix in some new shots occasionally, but hopefully you won't mind a second view at my better stuff.

be well my friends.

Cool. This reminds me of Stonehenge. I like how you have the light coming in through the back of the ice, it really seems to bring out the drama in the shape of the ice. I also like the drama and contrast created by the orange mixed in with the blues and whites. Very nice, now one of my favorites. : )
