The Long Island Sound seldom freezes. You might see Northport Harbor or some local ponds frozen up, but not the open sea. Until 2015, that is. This year's historic low temperatures caused the Sound to freeze up to several hundred feet from shore. You look at the ice floes and expect to see arctic seals sunning themselves. I was awed at the beauty of it, and captured these photos with my Nikon D800.
