After a couple days with lots of snow Lake Monroe in southern Indiana didn't look like a lake anymore. It is the largest lake in Indiana and is completely frozen with a foot of snow on top of the ice. The sunset looked like it was going to be an interesting one so I headed out to the lake. When I first got there it was mostly cloudy but within about 10 minutes a snow squall had moved in reducing visibility to about 30 feet. I figured that it wouldn't last long so after waiting for only about 1o minutes the sun came back out and by the time the sun was about to set it was partly cloudy with blue skies.
This was taken during the snow squall. The exposed tree roots created an interesting foreground with good contrast with the white out.

This was taken as the sun was about to set. Many clouds in very interesting shapes were drifting over the lake at sunset. I used a grad ND filter for this and the following shot.
This photo was also taken right before sunset over Lake Monroe.

It has the beauty of a barren place. You have done a nice job. As for the snow squall, without the tree roots you could have just posted a photo of a blank sheet of paper and we would never have known!
A great contrast to my own first entry!
Lovely set of photos. Happy SWF.
Oh my! Indiana looks a lot like winter in Ontario right now. ;-)

Absolutly beautiful pictures for a SWF!Great shot!Have a nice weekend!
I just love what the filter did and I'm glad you got some sunlight.
The bottom two photos look like sandy white beaches instead of snow. We can dream can't we?
So pretty! I love the last one especially.
Great shots Eric! With that pretty sky you could almost think the snow is sand - or the salt flats.
The 3rd shot is spectacular. Seems straight out of a painting.
Ah, these are very well done! I love the shadows on the snow...
Mountain Retreat
I could be sea salt, snow or sand. Interesting. The other is a beautiful sky

Love this bottom shot. It's quite surreal seeing the white across the ground like that. It must be a peacefu to stand here.
