Winter Ice Pellets on Quebec Windshield in Fog

A dense layer of translucent ice pellets rests on the curved glass of a vehicle windshield, viewed from directly above. The frozen spheres vary in size, creating a bumpy, crystalline texture that catches the faint, diffuse light filtering through the heavy marine fog. Below the glass, the dashboard remains obscured in deep shadow, while a thin rim of pale light outlines the upper edge of the windshield, suggesting a low sun struggling through the clouds. The background dissolves into a thick, gray mist typical of a Quebec coastal winter, where visibility drops to mere feet. The ice glistens with a cold, wet sheen, and the uniform gray of the fog blends seamlessly with the dark silhouette of the car's roofline. One ice pellet rests at the very bottom edge, distinct against the darker wiper blade.
