Skiing across a lake

Photo taken on an ice covered lake, where snow covered skiing track are shown under a blue, sunny sky.

Winter finally started in earnest these last few days. Got out for my first cross country skiing session of the year today.

Crossing an ice covered lake in an otherwise quiet landscape is eerie. The ice is constantly shifting, cracking and resettling, resulting in intermittently ominous sounds.
