A blade of ice. A saber of ice and light. The physics behind this one is beyond my ability to explain. I can only sit back in wonder and wonder how. The why I understand. I see the purpose, the mind behind this design even if I do not understand the technique\u2026and that, my friends, is as close to the deduction of a miracle as we are going to get. So this is a miracle in ice and light\u2026just to remind us all that we are daily surrounded by miracles. We walk a straight and sometimes narrow path between miracles, too often too busy with our own issues to notice. Look up! There is a miracle waiting wherever and whenever you choose to look. And a miracle makes the path easier any day\u2026makes the path broad and easy\u2026and life a wander through one miracle after another. And that is what life is supposed to be. Or that is what I think. Sony a6700. Sigma 16-300 at 127mm equivalent field of view. Aperture program with macro modifications.
