Ice Stasis

Lochindorb, Dava Moor, Scotland.

The shallow waters at the edge of peat enriched Lochindorb had frozen solid after an unusually long period of extremely low temperatures. Caramel coloured stones stained by the tanins line the bottom while a constant stream of tiny bubbles de-gas from below. These bubbles had frozen into trails each one emanating from around the perimeter of the stones. I braved the ice, dancing out on to its surface in an ungainly ballet with my tripod and slithered into position to photograph these beautiful details from directly above.

Very unusual shot ..... the effect could be one devised in photoshop, and it's great to see a natural version! Well done. Voted.
