Frost and ice are getting more and more rare in our country. So when one Monday morning I woke up and saw a white world, trees covered in frost, I did not hesitate one second. I grabbed my camera and went to a nearby lake, the Purmer Ee, aiming at some nice landscape pictures. I was able to make some nice captures. But soon the sun gained strength and the ice was starting to melt, resulting in sparkling surfaces. I changed lenses and went for macro captures. This pictures is one of the results.
