Frozen Lake--Bubbles In The Water--Canadian Rockies--Alberta, Canada

Spotting the frozen bubbles on the lake is rare . They never appear in the same place twice.
The subject is Abraham Lake situated in the Canadian Rockies in western Alberta, Canada.
This section of Abraham Lake is known as 'Windy Point' . Often the gusts here are strong enough to knock a person down.
The lake is surrounded by the Rocky Mountains.
The lake is not naturally occurring it was formed in 1972 with the construction of a nearby dam.
The Chinook winds are known to bring in below freezing temperatures in a short amount of time . They are seen here shaping the clouds.
The lake is 20 miles long with a surface area of 20.7 square miles.
