Icy weekend

The Markermeer is frozen. Due to the wind and current the ice slowly moves in this large water surface. Large and small plates of ice slide on top of each other. The result is drifting ice, which settles at our dikes in beautiful patterns. Last weekend, I mainly focussed on the photography of this rare phenomenon. This happens once in a few years. Due to global warming it will become even more rare in the future. Crawling on the ice with a wide-angle lens in order to seek for nice compositions caused my knees to become black and blue. But the results are worth this 'sacrifice'. I hope you enjoy the pictures.
Greetings,
