"Scoured"

Here is another shot from my outing to Abraham Lake. It was almost hypnotizing to watch the snow move across the ice. This ice is almost always clear of snow due to the winds scouring the surface clean. Thanks for looking!

Now that is pretty sweet. Love the cracks and the windblown snow lines. Well seen.

I got some some similar shots on a pond near my home this winter, but none as dynamic as this. I love the blues and especially how the cracks and snow are intersecting at nice angles. Well done!

Gorgeous color and pattern. Had to be a real finger freezer making these images in that wind and cold. Love it.

Powerful, evocative image. Love how it is a completely natural scene and totally abstract.

The angle you took on this is brilliantly done. I really like the heavier lines framing the small triangles of ice. Great details. :toast:
