Ice patterns

Na diese Aufnahme und die Gegend ist doch so richtig nach dem Geschmack einer Polarfüchsin namens G..... ;-))

Herzlichen Dank, Udo! Aber ja, da würde ich sofort wieder hin;-)

Remarquable cet iceberg avec cet effet et ces strtifications...!

Merci beaucoup, Malik!

la texture est extraordinaire; et beau rendu

Merci beaucoup, Dan!

Ich höre gewaltiges Knirrrrschen...

Schönen Dank, Lothar! Der nicht, aber von 2 anderen ist etwas abgekracht;-)

Das sieht ja irre aus

Besten Dank, Karin! Das Licht hat dazu beigetragen.

Bel**** effet !

Merci beaucoup, Nathalie!

Das tolle Licht macht ein aufregendes Bild ! Natural art ! Klasse, Gudrun !

Großen Dank, Uli! und das Licht hätte es viel "normaler" ausgesehen;-)

The natural light has brought out all the beautiful lines and textures - an awesome natural abstract image.

Good to see the context in the PiP as well. It's unbelievably huge, especially when you consider around two thirds of it is under water..!!

Is is just me - or can anyone else see the giant face in the PiP?

Thank you so much, Keith! Oh yes, it's a giant grumpy face;-) There were some huge bergs because they get stuck on an underwater moraine. Only when they melt or break up they start to float again.

Remarkable patterns Gudrun! Beautifully captured!
Oh yes, I see a face in the PiP :)

Thanks very much, Rosa! Depending on the light and angle you could see lots of faces and shapes in all the icebergs:-)

gut!

Danke vielmals, bk!

An unusual pattern. Is that caused by wind, wave or melting?

Thanks a lot, Esther! I'm afraid I have no idea, maybe a combination of all the above?

Hi Gudrun

Great composition here, and beautiful patterns in the ice.
I do agree with Rosa, there is a big face in the PiP!

Best Wishes,
Peter

Thank you so much, Peter! The patterns fascinated me as did the "faces"!

Welte an sich, toll festgehalten

Schönen Dank, Ko!

Made by the wind, I suppose?

Obrigada, Isabel! It might well be, I'm not sure though...

Great images, Gudrun. Bergs are so interesting to try to piece together their history from the shapes and contours. This seems to show tracks of water runoff.

Thanks very much, George! The variety of shapes and patterns was astonishing, In some you could see where they were going to crack up, this one was still pretty solid.

Wow, wirklich ganz tolle Strukturen, Gudrun !

Herzlichen Dank, Percy! Erstaunlich, dass die nur manche Eisberge hatten...

Tolle Formen und Texturen. Großartiges Licht!

Herzlichen Dank, Rainer!

Die Sonne stand gut und die Fotografin auch

Schönen Dank, Leo! Mein Standort war von Bootsführers Gnaden, man musste schnell auslösen-)

I love that PiP with the face of a Neanderthal. What causes all these striations on the surface of the icebergs?

Thanks a lot, Amelia! Actually I don't know, could be meltwater runoff, wind...Not all bergs had this, some were smooth, others had multiple cracks and bumps.

Das Licht als Abstraktionsinstrument.
