A very special photograph — taken at a place I usually associate with mild, temperate days. But this time, it was what felt like genuinely cold weather. Lake Constance wasn’t entirely frozen over, as it last was in 1963, but along the shoreline, the ice created something remarkable. The scene is dominated by some of the countless pillars of the harbor basin. Together with the frozen surface of the water, they formed bizarre, almost sculptural forms. No multiple exposures, no layering etc. — just my favorite approach: 'painting' with in-camera movement and light, captured in long exposure.
