Description I'm not going to go into how much pain I was in when I made this photo because that would spoil its beauty.

winter continues to prevail over mystic Gitche Gumee ... despite the sun.

Holy shit. That is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. So since it's so beautiful and I love it so much, I'm guessing you went above and beyond your usual freezing-your-ass-off-to-get-a-wonderful-shot routine.

Jeez! You know, some day you're going to be taking photos out in this miserable weather and you're actually going to freeze into a solid block. And who's going to have to come save you.

...

Okay, the logical progression makes it sound like I should say "me," but that definitely wouldn't work out because (besides obvious reasons) I a) would feel really awkward carrying around an icicle skinner and b) am pretty sure I'm allergic to cold weather. Just be careful out there, okay!

I love these types of sunsets. The ice and snow makes so ethereal. I wish it would snow around here or whatever, but sadly it won't. Keep them coming!

This is such a good shot. Was the pain from the cold, or from sqeezing in behind the ice?

I had a problem with my DOF for this which involved alot of playing with settings .. by the time I got my glove back on I almost had frostbite on my hand .. it hurt literally to press the shutter

Well, my eyes have certainly had their feast of beauty this morning and this one adds the finishing touch. Another beautiful composition and I really like the layers of colour; from bright orange in the back to dull blues in the center and then the mixture or warm tones and cool tones in the icicles.
