Abstract #4: Parallel Worlds – Among new projects in 2017 is a commitment to taking on the “Weekly Photo Assignment” challenge at Outdoor Photographer magazine. The first new assignment for 2017 was Winter Macro.
Abstract #4: Fracture – For the first time in perhaps five years, our lake, Chignik Lake, has frozen solid. The first day it was reasonably safe to walk on the ice, it was incredibly clear.
Abstract #9: Galaxy – As I walked around scanning the bottom for fish and aquatic insects, here and there I noticed bubbles trapped in the clear ice.
Next Thursday: Winter Landscape in Black and White

I love macro photography! Especially that one that looks like space!
Thanks Ilze. I’m kind of digging the “assignments” in Outdoor Photographer.
I Googled were is your lake.. Is it really Alaska!? Greetings from Latvia!
Yes, and remote even by Alaska standards. Only about 50 people in our small village and no roads connecting to other villages.
Really!? That’s interesting! You might know anyone in the village pretty well :).
Yes, we know everyone. It’s been amazing living in a place like this. You might be interested in this post: “Imagine a Place” we wrote a while back. Thanks for reading!
These are fantastic, look completely ethereal. Good luck with the assignments.
Ethereal… Thanks Harry!
Love those bubbles. One of those special moments. It does not happen everywhere and it does not last.
They were only really good that one day. The light and the ice were never quite the same again.
Awesome captures!,
Thank you, Kris!
Cool
Thanks!
