Turquoise Glacial Lake Ice Chunks Sunset Sapporo

Jagged ice chunks rest on the surface of a turquoise glacial lake, scattered across the dark water. Heavy overcast skies hang low above the floodplain, which appears dark and saturated from recent rain. The last light of an endless summer sunset breaks through the gray clouds, casting a soft glow that highlights the pale blue tones of the ice against the deep water. From a high vantage point, the expanse of the lake stretches across the landscape, bordered by flat, wet earth. Rough textures of the ice contrast with the smooth, rain-slicked ground. A small ripple distorts the reflection of a floating ice shard near the bottom right corner.
