Frozen lake with intricate needle ice formations across the surface, creating star-like

Close-up of tree bark covered with patches of colorful lichens, including shades of green, orange, and yellow. The bark has deep grooves and ridges, providing a textured background for the lichens. Lichens, symbiotic associations between fungi and algae or cyanobacteria, thrive on the rough, uneven surface, adding vibrant color contrasts. The intricate patterns of the lichens contribute to the natural complexity of the tree's surface, highlighting ecological interactions.
