Hi Markus,
ich sehe schon, Du bist ein richtiger Winter-Typ. Deine Eisbilder sind einfach super.
Ich wundere mich, wie diese Strukturen zustande kommmen, das ist richtige "Kunst" - Artwork!
Auf dem kleinen Gartenteich in unserem Garten war heute auch wieder eine Eisschicht, die Struktur aber lange nicht so abstrakt wie hier.
Danke und liebe Grüße

Hello Markus!

Beautifull dedication and note. Picture is superb. It looks like pure art with sailboats motive. I've got only one question - is this chair on left side of sail :-) ?

Tu pourrais nous présenter encore 2000 photos de glace, je les regarderais toutes comme on regarde un beau tableau, parce que c'est ce qu'elles sont. je dirais que celle-ci est peut-être la plus surprenant, la manière dont la lumière joue avec les textures, c'est vraiment superbe.

Hi Markus,

Please, don't ever stop posting your marvelous abstract works of art. I would never have guessed this was frozen mud but I immediately saw the sails. When I look at your pictures I feel like I am seeing the world through your eyes - eyes that see what mine surely would have missed. I consider this to be a magnificent gift from you to us. I love it!!!

Ciao Markus,
un'altra splendida sorpresa di queste artistiche forme naturali colte con un'ottima definizione ed una gestione della luce che crea un fantastico effetto TD nonostante la superficie di partenza sia piana, eccellente immagine.
Complimenti e grazie.

Bonjour Markus
chez nous aussi, les nuits sont encore fraiches et le printemps semble encore loin.
depuis quelques jours le soleil brille timidement e les pâqueretes montrent le bout de leurs nez, mais c'est tout.
ta photo est superbe, j'adore ces formes et ces dessins que dame nature a créee
Merci pour le partage

Hi Markus,

This looks so relief on the thumbnail -like a lithographical fossile:). You've noticed this very well. Lovely different orientations on the frozen mud stratum with fine, textural details. Nice focus on the frozen surface using the side lighting that provides to the shot a 3-D effect. Great presentation MF!
TFS and have a nice new Week!
Cheers,

Bayram

Lieber Markus,
Erstaunlich wirklich, wie viele verschiedene Formen das Eis nehmen kann. Da war doch ein grosser Künstler am Werk, der diese Vielfalt geschaffen hat. Künstlerisch ist auch Dein Bild gestaltet..ich sehe die Segel auch und würde noch so gerne ein wenig mitfahren.
Ae schöne Tag

Hello Markus,
Ah to have your eye Markus, you are one TrekNature contributer that has inspired me a great deal when I am out in the field. I am seeing things that I once overlooked. But my captures of these natural wonders are still quite bad to be honest. But your superb work keeps making me try, maybe one day. This image is wonderful with its colors and lines, a true piece of art. Thank you so much Markus.

Hello Markus,
A fascinating capture!
This frozen mud and its formations remind me of a type of fossil of some primitive creatures that lived over 400 million years ago called graptolites. They are found in fossilised mud, similar to the flysch you have in the area where you took this. The branched structure is rather similar and for me I think of this similarity rather than sailing boats.
A part from that this abstract beauty is wonderful, showing one again something that you have an eye for that most of us miss.
I thank you for that!
Have a good week,
Ivan

I'm sure Ram will love this! and as Adnac said , you have a keen eye for patterns. This is a wonderful sample of abstract composition , which is exploited a lot in painting and and not that much in photography. When shooting such things what actually matters is play of light and the angle of light which can highlight a pattern. Here the light is good and the colors vary from warm at the bottom left to somewhat cooler blue at the top right.
Did you use flash?
I'm sure you would have experimented a lot with shots like this and i would like to more of these :-)

I am touched by this superb dedication you honoured me with on my birthday on the 22nd, Markus. Thanks a million!
This image you have created from frozen mud is mind boggling. Reminicent of many things simultaneously, it evokes in my mind associations with cave art of the ancient homo sapien, religious frescos with Christian iconography, work of Paul Klee, avant garde art in diverse media, abstract wood carving and so on.
My eye also sees three-dimensional objects in the intricate patterns captured within the frame.
The shape of a ship in the middle is inescapable and your caption 'Sailing' turns very apt in relation to it.
To sum up, you have created a masterpiece by "seeing" the muddy ice with a figurative third eye.
Hats off to you, my friend!!
Warm regards.
Ram

Wisdom he has and a complete ability to go back in any point in his life and recall what he felt..I am always interested in Rams words as much as I am in your Heavenly:-) designs in nature....Sincerely it is a pleasure to see when you post...I should suspect you would or should have a collection for your office wall or home!

Uno más de tus originales trabajos Markus. Tomas para pensar y sacar múltiples conclusiones. Marcas efímeras, como la vida, sólidas y elegantes en unos períodos y que se diluyen y se pierden luego en el tiempo.
Ya nos dirás en qué sala de Fribourg vas a exponerlas :-)

Un abrazo: Josep Ignasi.

Markus,

Great note. I would never have guessed that this was frozen mud.

I love your ice and now mud pictures. We have a lot of flowers, birds and wildlife, but not many ice pictures. You have a great eye to find these patterns.

You focus and lighting is just right.

Thanks for sharing you cold world with us.

I'll be very honest in saying that i never imagined that sand could freeze...
As I keep saying, Markus, we learn so much of each other here..about various places and things!
This is an excellent shot, I've started liking your abstracts so much!
Thanks so much!

Hello Markus,

When water and cold nights cooperate you can get the most amazing work of art!
This is artistic and creative and you manage to have us focus on this detail in the ice sculpture...
Good macro work, well exposed with sharpness in details!

Greetings,
