Gone skating...

Ice. Smooth, black and hard like glass. See the bubbles and fine cracks as you look down into it; the breaks where a crack runs right through, the white schism going down to meet the water below.

Ice. White and marbled, rough and rugged. Upwells of lake water, refrozen meltwater? Ice like cobbles beneath the skates.

Ice. Ground together, or pulled apart. Long scars tracking to the horizon. Windblown ripples frozen fast. New ice meets old. Broken ice refrozen; tesselated- grey, white, black...

Today's ice... still there after yesterdays skating. :-)
