#SilentSunday
A view of a sunset while standing on Abraham Lake: a hydroelectric reservoir at the edge of the Rocky Mountains in Alberta, Canada. The image is split between the top half being a lightly snowy mountainous horizon and a partly cloudy sky, with gauzy clouds in-between fluffy ones. The sun is just off centre, is shining through these gauzy clouds, and is reflected in the lake's shiny surface The bottom half of the image is the frozen lake's surface. It is quite shiny, having been polished by sun and wind, with only a few patches of snow in the distance. Several prominent surface cracks in the ice are visible, leading to the horizon. Embedded within the ice are both white and clear methane bubbles, giving a somewhat otherworldly feel. There is also a lightly bumpy but heavily polished surface texture to the ice, which is highlighted by the slanted light.
