Even more beautiful than yesterday morning (and the cold even harsher to my hands in the texting gloves) - yesterday afternoon after work was a fiery farewell after a brilliantly cold, sunny day.

Thank you so much for sharing your amazing scenes.

Glad to share! I adore winter, especially here on the shore of a Great Lake. It’s a harsh beauty, but I love it.
The cold was INTENSE, I’ll admit.

I ran down to 👀 the icicle-comb tree, & to see the slurry of pancakes sloshing around beyond the ice shelf.
I’ve had so many different sounds, on the lake. Solid ice creaks, whines, and cracks with a laser-gun “pew” sound. Sharp ice edges scratch, pieces tinkle like cutlery. Slushy ice sursurrates.

From the icicle tree to up in the spit, the light changed from fiery to pastel. The wind came with teeth… worse up on the open spit.

Over on the other side of the spit, the beach was bathed in softer light and also growing an undulating ice shelf like the west side. A lone goldeneye dove where the mallards swam, just skirting the undulating ice.

Breathtaking beauty.

Out on the open water, scoters (white-winged? Can’t tell) and goldeneyes bobbed on the steely waves. The shrrr sound is the pancake ice where it scrapes against the rocks.

An otherworldly beauty, in colours I’d never believe in a painting. Shiny, steely, reflective and undulating. Cool colours in the deep freeze.

I find the cold always give cleaner, crisper air which makes the sun brighter, the blue deeper and sunsets glorious

Winter skies are spectacular, but especially at the edges of the day.
