Intricate ice patterns in frozen water puddles, close-up view from above

Beautiful frozen patterns in ice puddles are formed at low temperatures when the puddle freezes over and the water beneath recedes away. As temperatures drop further the thin layer of brittle ice slowly contacts, creating intricate pattern formations in the ice. Image taken in winter in Shropshire, UK
