Hi everyone, when crossing the Mackinaw Bridge last Friday going down to Bay City, Michigan to work at a skating competition. I had my husband take some shots out of the window of some of the Blue Ice piling up on the lake. But at traveling 72.2km/45mph it was hard getting good shot with all the poles. There was some closer to shore where it stood up over 6.1meters/20ft high which we didn't get.
I know it's not the best but there is a lot of texture, lol.
Thanks for coming by also comments are most welcomed.
Have a great day, ♥ Skates ♥

I didn't know much about blue ice so this is very informative to me. Nature just shows out. Thanks for sharing it, Pat.

When fear comes to me I will stubbornly choose Faith Instead!!!!
It was summer when I crossed the Big Mac so I didn't see any ice but I have seen and heard of blue ice before. It's created by freezing water that has so much pressure applied to it, down deep, that all the air bubbles are squeezed out of it and the ice crystals enlarge, making the ice appear blue. It is hard to actually see the blue ice here but I also know that can be put down to having to take photos at speed. For sure-fire blue you would have had to stop on the bridge for a supported capture and I know they tend to frown on people stopping on that bridge, for any reason. Still, Pat, worth the attempt, shooting through the poles.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
Snapping from a moving motor is a knack I have managed over the years..More so when someone else is driving or on a coach!..lol
Good pano here Pat..hubby did well.

I've seen blue ice in shots from Alaska before Pat but I had read it was happening at Mackinaw - very interesting and very cold looking.

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower. Albert Camus
No wonder Trump decided not to impose tariff on Canada, Skates. They can't get anything there anyway. :) Just kidding.
Great shot and link. Stay warm.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
Amazing shot of the blue ice Pat - your husband did a good job - now we're all waiting for spring to arrive - enough already - we just rode out oor 2nd nor'easter in a week and a third is predicted for Sunday/Monday - Great Capture!!!!!!!!

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
Beautiful but Brrrr! Blue ice is new to me too. I have seen so many witty "descriptions" about Canada from you but you never said "we color the ice blue in Canada" :) :)
