New Year’s Day was a very good day for photographing swamp ice. I have prepared no less than six series of different takes on the ice of The Great Swamp, Basking Ridge New Jersey.
I hope you will enjoy the series as much as I enjoyed the day.
This first set is entitled Enveloped.

Hi, Elena! I’m so excited about ice photography at the moment, too! These images are wonderful. The shapes and colors beneath the surface are so intriguing.
