I went out for a short stroll with the camera and some turmeric tea this morning. The camera was almost left at home... But I'm glad I decided to grab it at the last minute, because of this cool scene! There was a thin layer of ice on Donner Lake here in Truckee, California. But in this small area, the ice had broken up and piled up, creating sharp looking, jagged pieces of ice that looked rather photogenic to me. So I set down the hot tea and went to work getting some cool photos!
Shot with the Canon 5DR R and a 16-35mm lens, set at 16mm. The camera's ISO was 200, the shutter speed was 1/200 of a second, and the lens aperture was f/16. Shot handheld, no tripod or lens filters.
Instead of shooting a quick selfie as I often do, I decided to make a short video...
Thanks for looking, and I hope you all have a cool day too!!!

Nice shot. The layer of crystals on the water of lake looks beautiful. After seeing the Donner Lake pictures repeatedly, this lake has started appearing in my dreams. 😄
Thank you! It was such a great sight to see.
Lol! I hope they have all been good dreams.
Cool shot 👍 the broken ice looks like shattered glass
Thanks @steven-patrick! It also sounded like broken glass when I walked on it.
A Cool day indeed, these jagged pieces of ice must be from the melting Snow yeah?
It's a very Cool photo and I would love to have tumeric tea too.
There was a thin layer of ice in this area of the lake. And there must have been a gently wind, and some small waves that broke the ice up and piled it up in this spot. Glad you like that photo!
That broken ice looks indeed cool! 😊 And you photographed it very well 😊
