Taken just as Silke and I arrived across the border into Canada.
A funny note: my son was SO fascinated with the ICE that when he saw this patch, he took out on a dead run, fell on his belly and SLID...my daughter was filming the whole thing! It was just too funny!
The blue tree caught my eye here! It was so pretty!

Hello Linda,
Good your story. Beautiful night photo. Beautiful blue tree. POV.
TFS.

Hi Linda,

I love this shot. The colors are magnificent and I like the reflections on the ice. I like how this is the only tree that has lights. It adds even more mystery to the photo.

funny note about your son...too bad you didn't capture that as well. I have two sons, and they have done the same type of things.

tfs, lisa

That really is a wonderful shot. I didn't think you'd get anything worth while because of the constant wind that kept the branches (and the lights) in motion, but this is really amazing!
Great colours and composition as well

Hello Linda
I hope Andy recovered and did not bruise too long.. that ice HURTS! (life lessons:))

I really like how you have captured the blue lights.. Also the reflections of the other lights on the ice very nice! :)

Hello Linda !

The more I read your notes , the more I laugh (^_^). Great to see you had so much fun ( your son hides his emotions very well in front of the camera - quite a poker face LOL !).

Surrealistic , saturated or not, the effect is spectacular, the blend of the blue lights with the amber street lights .
Well done!
Robert

PS. I like a lot your new avatar (^_^)

Hi Linda!
wonderful shade of blue and violet! the blue lights stood out from the rest.
