Keeping To An Amazing Picture Theme,

this one below looks,


so unreal it has to be true, and it is, normally when ice forms there are small air bubbles or other imperfections that make it visible, but just occasionally bubbles or other impurities do not form, so it does indeed look like Andy Poineau of Boyne City, Michigan has been Photoshopped, but he has not, the 63-year-old architect was pictured on Lake Charlevoix on his Facebook page, on January 16, Andy Poineau managed to draw the attention of his online friends, some of which couldn’t help sharing it on their own accounts. Eventually, one of the photos was picked up by the Facebook page of Physics-Astronomy.com, where it was shared over 70,000 times, that was only the beginning, as soon the photo made the front page of Reddit, and was featured on various major news sites, Poineau’s phone started ringing, and before he could realise what was going on, he was doing phone interviews with the likes of USA Today, “It’s gotten so many views, I just never knew how fast something could go like this,” the 63-year-old man said. “I am completely blown away by this whole explosion, it’s hard to tell how thick it is by looking at it,” Poineau told Petoskey News. “I first threw a big rock on it and it didn’t do anything, but it was creepy because I didn’t want to walk out there too far. It was a little scary. That’s why I had the shovel with me, I was using it to make sure the ice was OK.” I still keep thinking the picture has been 'doctored' but by all accounts it has not, an amazing picture.
