Description A shattered winter scape at a fairly low angle to show that morning sky and reflections of a new sun on the shards of heaved ice.

They made for tricky (and noisy) hiking a few mornings ago .. temps were a balmy -15c, which meant I didn't have to bundle up ridiculously nor worry about frostbite just thick pants, long-johns and a parka.. overall a splendid morning!

The ice looks like stacks of glass. A beauty of a shot made more so by the colors of the day!

sunrise ... the best time of day to shoot ... and not just the horizon .. but the ambient light makes tones eye-popping
