The shear force of 12" thick ice forms many interesting patterns on the surface- minerals in the water provide color.

Plenty of fog, just about every day.

Refracted early AM light skimming across a frosty surface of ice.

Finally the fog cleared and the sun tried to break through.

Snow and ice formed interesting patterns on the frozen surface-- lit up by the sun as it broke over the horizon.

A mid-day fog rolled back in.

Evidence of strong and continuous westerly winds along the shoreline- at sunset. 

A view of Glendale bridge before sunrise-- with a frozen Deep Creek Lake.

A tree stump-- stands as a reminder of the low water level-- surrounded by thick ice in early AM light. Near High Mountain Sports.

Ornamental shrubs along a snow covered shoreline.

Just a sliver of orange at sunrise on an otherwise very gray morning. Standing on Creamery picnic table looking towards State Park bridge.

Thick fog settled in over the lake near sunset... Just before the light show.

Rt. 219 Bridge with fog rolling in at sunset...

The sun finally broke through below the cloud level at sunset. The trifecta of colorful light, lake ice, and fog made for an incredible natural experience.
