Ice Sheet Frame

I took this photo in dried river bed on the Grass River. It strikes me because of the natural frame and the lighting caused by the ice sheet. The time of year when I took this photo it is rare to find shallow moving water like this, but when it is available it serves as a steady source of water for nearby animals before the spring comes and the river fills with snow melt and once again turns into a moving metropolis of biodiversity.
