Day #6: A walk in the parc

Right behind our house we have this beautiful nature parc, with a huge lake... Today I went out there to find the perfect photo for day #6. Last night we had frost and well it was bad! It had been -15 degrees or less all around our little country. When I got to the parc the only thing frosted I saw was the frosted grass and this little pool where kids were ice-skating. I was about to go home when I found this...

I didn't notice these untill I got a little closer to the water to make a photo of these swans. The big lake has these sharp edges and they're kind of...Mmm not sure how to explain. Well just see for yourself :)Day#6 Since it's not dead (stagnant) water, the water bangs against the edges. And probably because it's still freezing they made this beautiful icicles. All the edges of the lake were covered with this.

    What a wonderful thing to photograph. If you had not been doing your 365 project you may never have spotted that, and we would not have been able to see it too!

    Petra, wat een geweldige foto !!! De ijspegels zijn echt heel erg mooi (zo zie je ze niet vaak) en de reflectie in het water is ook fantastisch.
