Vision Quest

I know at first sight, you would think this is not a photo, but these are Lake Ice Abstract images taken in the landscape of the Yukon arctic region.

While on my Yukon Sub-Arctic expedition to photograph the northern lights, during the day, Colin and I were exploring the lakes in the mountain range that were partially frozen. It was something I had not done before. It was very interesting to explore the different air pockets and air bubbles that froze while in motion, or in the case would freeze just under the surface of the lake ice.

I found some interesting shapes that reminded me of the Arctic Inuit Culture that has existed in the arctic for thousands of years. I wondered if this ancient culture would also do the same, and may have influenced their art as well

The first image is a "Salmon eating a fish egg"

It was also erie walking around while the ice made large "cracking" sounds !!!

I was considering making a series of these for a new gallery project up here in Whistler.

I was not sure whether to keep them blue lake ice, or B&W conversions.

I would like to get the opinion of members here.
