Still Learning To See 
John, this image is so interesting. It took me a while to figure out that it is surface ice in the cracking. It looks like twigs or shiny bead work. Do you know what the salmon colored thing is?
Yes, it is fascinating, isn’t it?! I have seen this pattern often, especially on new ice. Typically it is related to something just under the water, a large rock or stump, that changes the thermal properties at that point. I love that the ice crystal facets show up so clearly in the dark ice. The salmon-colored object is a piece of bark that had fallen in the water. All this, by the way, was photographed at a nearby abandoned granite quarry about the size of two or three athletic fields and probably very deep, now filled with water. Granite quarries are part of the legacy of Central Vermont.
