Above the glossy sheen of ice, the mercury was 15C below freezing. Insulating myself with thick layers, I barely managed to survive the cold and the windchill that had made it even worse. But apart from that, the conditions were near perfect to catch the unique phenomenon at Lake Abraham - its frozen bubbles. Every group of bubbles point to the tell-tale sign of vegetation in decay, and waiting to be free when the warming summer melts away the ice.
Just as a photograph freezes a fleeting moment in time, the icy grip of winter has frozen these ephemeral bubbles in space.
