This is from Äijänniemi beach, Kotka at southern Finland. Despite that beautiful morning I wasn't planning to go swimming.
I was dreaming of this, I got for the first time in an ice-cave. It was last week, at the glacier Vatnajökull in Iceland. Oh boy, I love the blue color !
After being frozen for half a century, she could feel the magic weaken. The ice begins to crack quite quickly. The ground shakes and rumbles as the blizzard starts to roll in. Suddenly, a raven demon burst from the frozen ground. She stretches her rather large blue wings as her attention goes over to the bright horizon. "It is time for winter to come once more!" She caws loudly before flying off.
Quite a messy day of heavy rain, strong winds & ice, all day long! This is a tree in my back garden. This is what Spring looks like today!
Happy Weekend!

This has to be one of the most surreal places on earth. The icebergs are formed in the ice lagoon across the road and they eventually drift down to the ocean and onto the beach. This year there is so much more ice than my previous visit February last year. There was almost too much ice to get a clean shot. This was the best I could manage given the hour I had to spend there before nightfall arrived.
The ice is just amazing, some sparkle due to its clarity and others less so but all have something to offer the landscape photographer. You have to be careful of the waves crashing on the shore as always but what a fantastic experience.
Have you visited this beach and if so, what was your experience?

It's wintertime and the photo opportunities are endless.
This was taken on North Point, a sandstone rock ledge that extends 150 feet into Lake Michigan.
You can see three elements clearly here: the buff-colored rock, the forming ice, and the cold clear water with the dead zebra mussel shells seen below.
With the warmer temperatures recently, the freezing/thawing cycle creates such lovely abstracts.
Taken from a distance of five feet above, and looking straight down onto the rock surface.
Western edge of the ice sheet covering most of Greenland and (currently) 2-3km thick. From this particular point it's 450 miles to the other side.
Cold and short days, long and colder nights.
The ice has settled on the fjord and the silence is as clear as the light, but is sometimes broken by the ice that cracks. I like to stand and watch the glow from the last rays of the day on the horizon slowly fade away. Then the frost comes creeping in and I feel it's time to return home. (The photo was taken just over 2 p.m.)
