Frosty sunrise

This morning was the coldest yet this winter, we woke up to -35C (felt like -45C)!
When I saw the sun coming up over the lake I had to bundle up and brave the cold. I only stayed outside for 10 minutes, by then my battery in my camera was drained and my fingers could not push the shutter button anymore.
This was taken from the deck in my backyard with the lake in the distance. The 2 white shapes in the foreground are tops of pyramidal cedars that my husband keeps trimmed so we can see the lake.

Thank you so much for the lovely comments and favs on yesterday's photo of the bench and lamp overlooking the frozen lake, much appreciated.
Love the colours! Fav

Amazing shot and scene, hard to believe it gets that cold! My worst nightmare was in Germany at -18!

Surreal. Thanks for braving the elements!

Beautiful colors. You are braver than I am in the cold.

Lovely shot but I can't imagine that sort of cold! You're very dedicated!

Such a glorious sight from your back deck ! I can not envisage - 35 c let alone - 45c Love the colour of the sky and your abominable snowmen !! The snow covered cedar topiary look as if they will follow the leader and walk away !! fav

Snow! Just a wonderful photo. Parts of the US are supposed to have bitter cold today and tonight too.

I'm just a 20 minute drive away from where this shot was taken, and it was -41C this morning at my house when I left for work! I didn't hit this ice fog until I was almost into town, but it was just beautiful with the sunrise shining through it! I didn't have time to stop for a photo, so I'm glad you got this.

I just can't imagine that cold .... hope it gets warmer soon

A beautiful sight. It must be quite painful to be out in those temperatures! Very brave!
January 28th, 2019  
I can’t imagine what the cold must feel like ! Gorgeous sunrise

Beautiful capture
For the frozen bubbles my best tip would be to make sure there is no wind and to make sure you have your camera ready

Brrr. Glad you explained the circles I’d never have guessed

Beautiful sunrise shot. It's going to get really cold here on Wednesday.
January 29th, 2019  
This makes me shiver just looking at it!! Snow storm on the way here tomorrow so I'll be viewing the same snow piles soon. Pretty shot!
January 29th, 2019  
Very cool shot. My goodness - how cold it is there - stay inside and stay warm. Time to buy flowers at the supermarket to take photos of so you don't have to venture outside!

@365karly1 Great idea...........I usually get supermarket flowers eventually during the winter!
January 29th, 2019  
That looks every bit as cold as you said it was! Wow!
January 29th, 2019  
Quite striking -- and impressive that you went out in the weather. It's horrible here as well and I haven't left since yesterday's short outing!

What a gorgeous sky. I couldn't imagine what 135 feels like. The coldest we ever seem to get is -1 or 2c round here. But I'd love to know what it feels like :)
January 29th, 2019  
Stunning image. Fav. And I feel I am freezing with temperatures of about 15C! Not minus 15 but plus 15.
January 29th, 2019  
Lovely

January 29th, 2019

January 29th, 2019

Very brave of you to get out in that cold weather to get this wonderful photo.
