Frozen

Woman crashes car through frozen river and stops to shoot selfies as it sinks beneath her feet

I don’t think we’ve had a stupid-selfie post for a while, but here’s a good one. A woman who has not been publicly identified had her vehicle meet a chilling end when she chose to drive across a frozen river in Ottawa, Canada. As she drove across, she hit a weak spot in the ice that caused her car to crash through its surface. While onlookers were figuring out how to get her out of there safely, she climbed onto the car’s roof to shoot a selfie while it began to sink beneath her feet.

While I’ll bet it made for a great photo on her Instagram feed, I’m not sure it was the wisest of decisions. Of course, driving over a frozen lake doesn’t really indicate the possession of much wisdom in the first place.

Photographer Eric Gross managed to capture a piece of this beauty at Dream Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. He photographed an otherworldly sight of “frozen waves” on the lake’s surface, and the photos are absolutely stunning.

There’s something magical about soap bubbles, but watching them freeze raises the magic to a whole new level. In his timelapse Winter’s Magic, photographer Don Komarechka captured the process of soap bubbles getting frozen. And watching the ice crystals as they form on the delicate bubbles’ surface is as wonderful to watch, as it is difficult to film.
