You know those somewhat dog-faced, colourful, Chinese dragons? In parades? Usually accompanied by many a crash, boom, wiggle and bang....dancing...firecrackers galore...and such?

..Well I found this marvelous creation of nature, (among many others), on the shores of Lake Superior while ice-hiking with *wb-skinner. It reminded me strongly of the aforementioned dragons.

Maybe you see it as well. :?

Incredible! I've been in and by Lake Superior many times, but I've never seen anything this beautiful!

Thanks very much, Eduardo. It was an interesting moment and a turning point in photography for me- ...perhaps even in philosophy as well.

Cheers. :beer:

I do see it... and so clearly so that I thought you'd had an ice sculpture made and let it melt a while before taking this shot. Wow.

Nicely seen.

Thanks very much, Stefanie! Oh yes... the ice. It almost gives me cause to wish for winter again. ....Almost. ;)

It does look like a dragon. :aww: And you took one magnificent photo. I like how the sun is shining through the ice, it looks amazing. :)

Awwww! ...Thanks a lot!! :aww:

It's interesting. As far as 'my' work goes, this photo is my most popular one on dA. ---But the the actual hard copy photo, (which looks the same), is often overlooked or lowly rated. Strange.

Thanks again for your comment!! AND favourite! :D
