Pattern on ice

Pattern on ice
Nikon D200, Carl Zeiss Distagon T* 35/F2 ZF

It was the pattern on the ice of frozen Catfish Creek near Dubuque, Iowa that caught my attention. The little river joins the mighty Mississippi just around the bluff in the background. There is the pattern of randomly blown snow, crossed by the shadows of trees, and illuminated by the mirrored rocks on the blank ice.  Nothing spectacular, but good enough to make my day.
