Description
It was -20F (-29C) when I shot this image just after sunrise at the Yahara river, so the icy cold water, still running, but freezing up rapidly, was "steaming" into the much colder air and creating a surreal fog which gave the scene great depth and atmosphere. As I captured these three images, the absolute silence struck me. My camera shutter sounded loud and foreign in the stillness. The only sounds, aside from me, was the occasional thudding of ice chunks as they jostled against each other like bumper cars on their slow-motion liquid race track. Note the loon (?) swimming in the water near far shore. There is another image from slightly different vantage point (#1 by same title). This image is a 3-image vertical-stitched panorama, so has very high native resolution and could be printed very large. Location is a few miles south of Stoughton, WI on Stebbinsville road.
Captured on 1/27/2019 with Pentax K-1 and DFA28-105 lens.
