This ice road over the Lake goes to a winter resort. The ice road used to be open December to Mars but this winter it was very late in December before the road opened because the winter has been to warm.
Seems like you have that mist a lot of the time! It's really beautiful. That's what you have when it's been too warm? I wonder what it's like when it's cold!
All of earth is crammed with heaven And every bush aflame with God But only those who see take off their shoes. - Elizabeth Barrett Browning<p>

We still have open water up here in Northern New England, although I hear there's some pretty cold weather headed our way. I have to agree with Benroy that the person really makes this a standout photo. It's beautiful all on its own, but there's a starkness that surrounds the solitary figure.
I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

This is so beautiful, Mariana and that one human figure on the road makes such a difference in perspective. I would not have guessed the enormity of the surroundings had you not left that person there. Wonderful composition! Ten from me if I get a chance to vote on it.
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

I really like this. Gives very good perspective with the man standing there. Huge and wide open countryside! Nicely captured Mariana! *grabs his sled & heads down the hill!..yeee-haw!!* lol
WHAT IS MAN WITHOUT THE BEASTS? If all the beasts were gone, man would die from a great loneliness of the spirit. For whatever happens to the beasts, soon happens to man. All things are connected. ~Chief Seattle VISIT MY GALLERY
The colour of the sky and blue tinted snow ...There is nothing more pleasing to my eye !!!!
Forgetting the man probably in distress on the road and you, Mariana, driving towards him without braking, because brakes would not work on such surface !!! LOL
Please know that I enjoy your work even though I don't always have time to comment. I try to look at all the new posts and always appreciate your stopping by my gallery. Have a happy day ;) Anita
