Description

There are few things so other-worldly as the experience of standing on a large lake on a freezing cold winter day. As the ice freezes it expands sending haunting "booms" across the entire lake that you can hear reverberating from the depths. You not only hear it, but you feel it as well. Most often the sound travels to you from a distance, but every so often you get lucky, and the ice will crack right beneath you (I'm not sure one ever gets over how startling that is!). The day this photo was taken, Lake Reno was in non-stop action. I witnessed the ice shatter beneath my feet more than once. A few hours later, it was all over save for an occasional boom from afar.
