Ice Covered River

When I am in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park one of my favorite places to be is along a stream. In this case the temperature was close to zero causing ice patterns to form over the moving water. These abstract lines and curves were paper thin. As the sun rose and lit the delicate surface of the ice, the beautiful design quickly disappeared into the moving water of the stream. The dominant blue tint was caused because the ice was in the shade.LynnFreeny.com
