Description
The atmospheric and water circulations are similar but reflections of each other. The different densities of the fluids produce altered scales of circulations both in time and in space. The patterns in the ice were especially interesting to me. Some of the patterns looked like they were wind driven as they were what I would expect to see in the atmosphere with cloud edges. Some of the other patterns were probably current driven as they were the mirror image of the atmospheric deformation zones and vorticity centres. Interesting. There is still much to learn.
An important truth about circulations is what goes around, comes around. So it is not just the quasi-horizontal atmospheric or water circulations depicted in this painting but perhaps also the cycle of life. The vertical circulations are harder to see. Clouds are formed in the ascending air. The balance of gases and electrical charge in the atmosphere is always in a state of up and down flux. Oxygen and nutrients at the surface of the lake are taken to the depths when the ice forms in the fall and again with the melt in the spring. What may look simple is often rather complex.
The timing of this scene was around 8 am on Tuesday March 1st, 2016. Another winter storm was on the way. The layers of moisture had already reached well beyond Singleton Lake. The leading edge of altocumulus was on the western horizon while various layers of progressively thinner layers of cirrus were overhead and had already reached into western Quebec.
Garth Brook's "The Red Stroke" happened to be playing when I actually was brushing in some brilliant reds - a funny coincidence.

Thank you so much Lazaro. I wish they all turned out ... but sadly they do not :>)
