The day had been dull and fog-obscured from morning until late afternoon, when the sun broke through behind the veil of gray, silhouetted the ice peaks out on the lake, and turned everything the color of a Jovian storm. To further the metaphor, rivulets and pools of bright water along the top of the ice looked ancient as the surface of a Galilean moon.

There's something wonderful and mysterious about fog. Your photo of the sun starting to illuminate things is marvelous, Deborah, with its subtle colors.
fascinating-never knew about lakes, sun, ice water and fog...
I agree with Bobbie, there is indeed something wonderfully mysterious about fog. This an exquisite shot!
I love fog; this is a magical - mysterious photo and I can see the ice starting to recede.
So many conditions of moisture! A great shot, by jove!
Eerie on Lake Erie!
Oh I love the misty atmosphere. I hope you thaw out soon.
For sure it looks like you live on a different planet...or moon. Perfect for a photo shoot. ;-)
just like here in our part,the lake is still freezing!!!

The color makes the scene look a teensy bit warmer than it has been. Bet you can't wait for spring.
Deborah this looks so-o-o-o (((cold)))..I'm getting spoiled here in the sunshine with breathtaking sunsets!!
Your image is worthy of a mystery book cover! Happy SWF!
This is wonderful...love it when it is enlarged.
Deborah, I love playing with fog too--this is a very cool shot!

Beautiful poetry for this image!
My Sky Watch is on my photoblog: Carletta’s Captures
That looks way to cold for me, good sky watch.
Great view! glad I stopped by!
Deborah, What an eerie photograph(oh dear!). I just went through your previous posts and thoroughly enjoyed the read. Thank you for sharing.

All you were missing was snow! This photo looks like a scene out of a Daphne du Maurier book!
Very rare over here... we may get to see the fog in the winters again.
Fog is the wetland of the sky: part sky, part cloud ... just like a wetland is part land part water. Maybe that doesn't work so well, but still, fog is tough to get a handle of ...
Your description is as vivid as your photograph. I love both. I invite you to come see my March snow shots from Powell Lake, BC. - Margy
ethereal!
lovely it looks so hazy and lovely...
lovely shots !
Beautiful photo. Even though I personally dislike the cold, rain, and fog, I love this picture of it. You have to see the beauty in it all, and you really captured that. Stunning!
Wow, Deborah! That's ice?! Very cool. I hate it when the sky stays hazy like that, but at least the sun was able to poke through!
Great capture!!!
