Ice Land

 Happy New Year Dear Readers!  It is the cold midwinter but the days are getting longer and brighter.  The melting ice on one of our island beaches reminds of the seasons' changes and renewals, although the melting feels like a death in some ways.  It is as if the glacier is sighing, letting go of its ancient being; we come from dust and to dust we return.  Or here, water to ice and ice to water.  In the meantime, these ice sculptures remind us of a great artist who continuously sculpts and reveals beauty, even through melting.  And there is even new creation in what is left behind by the ice and what is ahead.  Blessings on a new year to you and yours.  (Jökulsárlón, Iceland)

  1. Great photos as always. We were in Iceland many years ago and had a nice time there but it was in the summer, so no ice that I can recall.
