I find it amazing that these magnificent little icebergs were once part of these massive glaciers found high in the mountains in Iceland. I loved walking the black sand beach searching for the best one. There were so many to choose from it reminded me of someone searching for the best pumpkin in the pumpkin patch. To get this effect you run out to the wave as it comes in, slam your tripod down (if your timing/wave judgment is poor you actually have to take the hit of the freezing cold wave) and then snap the camera as the waves retreat. It was so much fun to do and I have a ton of pictures of the sky, me and everything else in-between but Luckily I never fell and never tripped over the landmines of icebergs and actually snagged a few shots.
I found these fascinating stalactite and stalagmite ice formations around the Charlevoix Lighthouse in Charlevoix, Michigan. I loved the color of the ice and how it looked like an awesome ice version of the Mammoth Caves.
I had been waiting for a good cling to the tree snow fall for a long time. I finally got it! I loved driving around looking for scenes like this. I spent nearly 3 hours driving around and hiking the local parks. I would have spent longer but it started to snow too much.
