Nature is the true artist. Can you guess what she painted in the images below?
This is the surface of a frozen lake — ice webbed with deep cracks. Here are a few wider shots.
Now, some closer views.
Of course, I’ve bent the truth a little.
These images aren’t shaped by nature alone, but by people as well. Many of the scratches on the ice were left by studded tires. What you see are icy patterns I managed to capture on a winter racetrack set up for drifting competitions.
Thanks for visiting my blog. I really appreciate your attention.
