Water and ice.

What I wanted to show but did not succeed with (although I like the shot anyways) is the line of people out on the ice fishing, despite the 1-2 inches of water on top of the ice. That water is what gives the great reflections, but.... Intellectually, I know in my head that the rest of the ice is solid and that only the top inch has melted, but I would not be driving my car out there or towing an ice hut out there. It is even freakier at night -- all you can see is the headlights and water spraying out from the tires as they head back to shore.

It's a great shot - the water covered ice is a perfect mirror.
