This is my entry for #monomad challenge by monochromes@monochromes

I love winter. I love ice.

Here we are on Aiona mount, on Appennino range, Liguria region, Italy.

In nature you can find some art masterpieces. Maybe hidden, not visible at first glimpse. An hidden art. You should discover it, making the right and personal point of view, with photography.

Maybe you don't know which type of pictures you want. So the secret is to expect nothing: if you "don't" seek, you find.

Here the surface of a small river:

Ice and trapped air, creating a structure like a frozen magic meadow:

"There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in" (Leonard Cohen):

Fracture on ice
