Pyramid of Ice

















Well, it's not really a pyramid, but that's the first thing I thought of when I found this particular piece of ice.  I spent a lot of time yesterday crawling around on the ice on my hands and knees looking for low-angle perspectives of the ice formations on Lake Superior.  The photo you see here is my favorite of the many that I shot at ground level.  The tilt-angle screen on my Sony RX100 III camera sure comes in handy for shots like this.  The camera was only about an inch or two off the surface of the snow-covered ice when I made this photo. I was looking for ways to accent the beautiful fan-shaped clouds that were streaking through the sky, and I think I found the perfect subject to do just that.
