As you saw on the Rambles page, we went on a walk near Turquoise Lake yesterday. The shoreline was coated with lots of ice, providing several photographic opportunities, such as ice shards, minute cracks, and flowing water. Then, near the end of the day, we had a wonderful sunset, just above the mountains, providing more photos. Here are some of my best photos from both events.
A lizard-shaped hole in the ice at Turquoise Lake revealed water flowing down the shore to the lake.
Not all of the water was iced over; in several places there were mini-rivers, often with very nice reflections and red-colored sand underneath.
Due to the profusion of ice, we found many piles of ice shards, like small icicles, that made a very pleasing sound as they rubbed against each other.
From the cabin, we had an amazing sunset just over the mountains.
The sunset was blueish, purple, pink, and orange at the same time.
The darkness of the mountains was very nicely offset by the soft sunset light.
