[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
With the high winds from the north west we get to see the landscape change constantly as the river does not completely freeze over.There are so many unusual patterns in this shot I hope it qualifies for the theme.

This was taken late in the afternoon, earlier there had been ducks swimming around.

Hi Dot, great addition to the theme. This definitely exemplifies "cold" for us here in Canada; this is what we have to look forward to in the next few months. Love the icy blue, grey and white colors, and the crop.

Quel rappel frais de ce qu'est en avant pour nous, point. Je suis avec toi, j'aime les nombreux modèles et prismes que la glace crée. Je suis impressionné d'à quel point vous avez manipulé les blancs ici, car il est très difficile de saisir le détail quand il est si blanc. Vous avez très réussi fait cela. Ok maintenant je suis froid. Gesh. Bonne interprétation du thème.
Les amitiés les plus sincères

Hi Dot,
Now that is cold. I love the way you have handled the light with this. It is so difficult to capture the true colour of slushy ice. Interesting abstract with the pushed up circle near the center, and the meandering lines of the water filtering by on the left.
Cheers,
Dianne

A very pretty (although very cold :) picture, and I really like the frame. Very nice detail. TFS

Hello Dot,

The frozen, and melting ice, makes a whole range of abstract patterns. The f/g is frosted and pitted, whilst the b/g is showing interesting swirls.
The blue, grey and silvery tones certainly develop the 'cold' theme.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Nice soft colour in your picture for Friday theme, Cold Abstract, dear Dot.
Good lighting.

Ciao,
Lara

Hi Dot,
Lovely capture of the fluidness of nature as the river opens and closes with just a few degrees difference in temps.
Lovely textures and clarity to this frigid shot.
