Description
I think this is Seely Lake in Montana. It's long and kinda narrow, and now covered in 2 feet of ice. A week after we were there, it snowed and the temps dropped into the teens. A friend's sister is there now and it's something like 20 below! Brrrrr......!!!

Wonderful place where should be fine spend the first day of 2015
2 feet of ice? WOW. It's hotter than Africa here!
Gosh! not my sort of place at all.
Great capture
Beautiful! I love that bright light glinting off the water.
A beautiful photo and lighting!
I'm sorry I haven't commented here since the 1st of the year. I see everything the minute it goes up (or that day, at least), but sometimes I think I've commented when I haven't. The one advantage is that I get to sit with a whole bunch of your work in one sitting, and bask in it. With your recent nature shots, that's a special joy. This is a case in point: another of your shots of Montana (and the West in general), filled with the magic of the place. The lake---with the land jutting into it like it were a river---and that beautiful forest behind it, is beautiful enough. But you captured the sun turning the water into a mirror of diamonds, and the light gracing the shot like pouring silk. You allowed the flair to 'be', which graces this shot with real magic. And the light covers the trees with a thin silk shawl. Beautiful water photography once more. And I'm not surprised that it gets 20 below---and that's air temperature, not windchill. Even WE don't get 20 below air temperature except once in 2 decades: We need wind to push the temps that low. Montana is like the moon, in winter...but it sure is beautiful. And I like that you allowed a few sprigs of plantlife to "frame" the shot at the bottom.
