On Sunday morning I went to Lake Monroe to shoot the sunrise. Monroe is the largest lake in Indiana and was completely frozen on this morning. A sunrise similar to this had occured during the week but unfortunately I had classes that I had to attend which of course ruined the morning. Luckily this sunrise occured on a weekend and I was able to get out and see it.
Over Ice

This shot was taken about 15 minutes before the sun came up over the horizon. The sky had lots of purple and red tones and reflected well off of the ice.

This one was taken about 10 minutes after the last one. The sky changed colors very quickly from the reds and purples to this orange/golden glow. Unfortunately a low layer of clouds moved under the clouds in the previous image.

Beautiful colors and structures. :)
Awesome shots! Loved the paint like quality.
Sensational colours
You have to be highly motivated to catch a frozen lake at sunrise. We have sunsets over the gulf here in Naples Florida, but the weather is always mild, and never requires too much commitment or planning.
Stunning images!What a glorious morning you captured!
The ice turns some wonderfully delicate shades of sunrise. I live in Florida, so I have to do reflection shots off liquid water, but even when I lived in NY it never occurred to me to take pics of the sunrise bouncing off a frozen lake. Well done!
