Description

Lying down on the ice an entirely new perspective reveals itself. Even in the Netherlands we have ... mountains! Temporarily, but that won't take away the joy! The texture of the ice-surface attracted my attention; it's like little frozen waves. In macro-world everything gets another unexpected beauty. It's like learning to know people better; even the ugliest people show beauties not seen by the crowd. :) I hope you enjoyed this series of ice on the Rhine! Thank you for thinking about the questions I posed and your wonderful comments, or just your joy and leaving them uncommented!

Beautiful ice sparkling and the trees really add to the image. Please don't lie down on the ice anymore.

whoo-hoo!!!! totally magnificent macro work here, jan-carel, and definitely worth the getting all dirty as you must have gotten for this shot! What a wonderful ice-mountain you show us, and you captured the light flawlessly!!! i love how it sparkles on the water and crystals here!!!! so incredible to see what the world looks like from a grasshopper's perspective!!!! it sure is amazing when to look at this as we walk along we wouldn't normally see this as beautiful. but look what happens when we look from a different angle!!! thanks so much for showing us this incredible ice mountain in the netherlands!!!!! vote!!!

Great perspective...I know you got a chilly belly on this one. :) Everything you say is spot on, on this is a magickal crystal mountain on a frozen see that glitters like the stars in the morning sun. Way to look at the world from a unique perspective!

Ah, you have uncovered the secret, Jan_Carel, even at the cost of getting cold doing so. This is how they are smuggling the contraband diamonds into the heart of Europe. Cunningly disguised as 'ice. I shall inform Interpol! :) Regards, John.

Darn it, JC, I was KIDDING when I said I would pay you $50 to test the strength of the ice. Hang on, I'll be right there to get you out.
