Puddle Ice – Monochrome Madness.
This is the last image I will post for now taken during the sub-zero morning we had a week ago. It’s a puddle with many frozen layers which created these beautiful patterns (and the wonderful physics I can only start to understand) . It is an image which I both like and dislike, it was difficult to capture as there were many layers of ice of different opacity and sharpness but I liked the overall pattern. This is my entry for the 24th Monochrome Madness Challenge posted on Leanne Cole’s blog, initiated by Leanne and Laura Macky. Thanks to Leanne for her precious time and effort that goes into the challenge 🙂

Looks wonderful, Lisa.
Don’t you just love the magic of Nature.
Did you get the hail up your way on Sunday night?
Absolutely,! No but we did get snow and then sleet on Monday, not as good as the week before though – real snow, a sting in the tail of winter 🙂
Thanks for the explanation, because there is no way I could have guessed what it was. Patterns in nature are quite wonderful.
I’ve said before and will say it many more times, the artistry nature is incredible, I love it 🙂
I agree with LD (above) – there is no way I could have know what your subject matter was. Great capture and vision for grabbing this shot. I can only guess at how cold you were trying to get this shot taken. But for me, it was worth the effort put into it.
Thank you, your opinion means a lot and yes this was on my walk back home and I was freezing 🙂
Very cool image… great perspective.
Thanks Shane 🙂
I love the clear ambiguity of this shot.
🙂 🙂
Art photo, like the tone and shape of it. natures own art, beautifully captured
Thank you, definitely an art photo 🙂
This is wonderful Lisa… I love the abstracts and patterns you find. Fantastic!
Definitely worth the effort.
Thanks as always, been a very very long day!! Am really pleased you liked it 🙂
I like your composition–bubbly abstract brilliance!
I love ‘bubbly abstract brilliance’ – thank you!
Very beautiful image – could even be a Picasso of people bathing. A
Thank you Adrian – all the time I kept thinking it reminded me of something – Picasso, yes 🙂 🙂
Beautiful patterns and I would not have guessed it!!
Ah nature is good at keeping us on our toes – thank you 🙂
It actually looks like amoebas or living cells massed together. Nature uses the same efficient design everywhere. What a great capture.
Thank you Vera, and yes I agree it does really look like cells.
That makes such a great abstract!
Thanks Sarah, I do love the never-ending patterns found in nature 🙂
Nature is the greatest artist of all 🙂
A powerful abstract provided by nature, Lisa.
Indeed! Welcome back from your holiday!
