Frozen but Stirred

We live near a big contained part of the sea. The water is not salty any more, so it freezes quite easily. The temperature is above zero now, so it's melting again and due to strong wind the iceplates gather on top of each other near the dyke.
Today we went out to look at it. There was a clear blue sky, so the melting ice looks really blue. I wasn't planning to make another theme-picture but it's blue... ;-)

@albqshutterbug @marja @nomad721 @roejan @jonna @mtol @petra @timandelke @anoeska @hjvanriper @maggie2 @allie912 Thanks for all the comments, it really keeps me motivated. most of the times I have a hard time picking my pic for the day, today was the same, but your comments make me convinced i picked a good one. It isn't so cold any more (5 degrees by day) but it has been for a long time.
