The Delaware Bay has been frozen over a great deal of the past few weeks resulting in unique coastal scenes. Cape Henlopen was frozen in recently with rafts of thick bay ice that had been driven to shore by the wind. The currents that are always flowing in tidal water shift these blocks of ice around creating occasional open water pools. I found the warm colors of a cold sunset reflected in one of these pools and had to get down within inches of the ice surface I was standing on to maximize the reflection.
