MrsAmber from West Wickham, United Kingdom
Blue beyond measure. I wonder...do you hear the ice making noises as bits rub together. Eeeerie!

@MrsAmber: thanks Amber!! if i had been closer to the glacier or maybe in warmer weather, maybe -- but everything was so still -- so frozen, that there wasn't much movement of the ice pieces at all -- at least not from what i could hear from the shoreline!

With all those shapes I can see different animals. It is like looking at clouds. A beautiful shot.

We've all stared at the clouds before and find animals or monsters or dinos... I just found all these things amongst the pool of ice! Beautiful shot.
