In my previous Mundane art entry i suggested to @kus-knee that it would be most appropriate to pick ICE for the next round. Later in his new round announcement i was thrilled to see it actually happened! And it looks that i wasn't the only one expecting this theme. But than something quite unexpected happened. I realized that it's going to be damn hard to pick just one entry! I love ice especially when forming crystals so i have many photos that could fit in this contest. I decided to make a post with different ice photos and than only enter one of them in the contest. I don't know if I'll pick the same as @kus-knee would but at the end it doesn't matter. I really want to share these photos here on Steemit! First photo and the one i will place in this rounds entry was taken couple of weeks ago on a mountain called [Sinji vrh](https://steemit.com/art/@poss/sinji-vrh-paradise-for-artists-with-authentic-panonnian-farmhouse). It's amazing how the small icicles are placed horizontally. This is possible because of the strong winds blowing across the mountain top forming this piece of art on a very artistic place (check the link in Sinji vrh, to understand why).

It was a very dry and cold winter perfect for hiking even high mountains. And nature took care of another spectacular creation. It was close to a lake called "lake on Planina pri jezeru" - i have no idea how to translate this fully to English (??). Anyway ... the lake is the reason that fog is really common in this area and when you combine fog with minus 10 to 15°C you get ice formation i have never seen before. The entire valley was covered with this - some kind of ice feathers (anyone knows the correct term?)

Later when we reached the lakes, we got to see the entire lake covered with thick layer of ice. And on the edges the ice was broken probably because of the expansion.

A perfect name for this last photo! :) [![DSC08172.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmU7gJqWEmqwE7djfbbA12BkoXCPknqyLME6nwfV8i9Y8p/DSC08172.JPG)](https://steemitimages.com/DQmU7gJqWEmqwE7djfbbA12BkoXCPknqyLME6nwfV8i9Y8p/DSC08172.JPG) Mountain hiking signs covered with ice coating - Which photo do you like the most? - Click on any photo to see it in full resolution - Share your ICE photos and take a look at the [original contest](https://steemit.com/mundaneart/@kus-knee/the-old-dog-presents-the-mundane-as-art-round-ten-ice-20-steem-in-prizes). ### Thank you for reading!
