No, just clear ice. There's no imperfections in it so it becomes an optical illusion.

Thats the smoothest ice I've ever seen. Anyone know where it is?

Ice like that rarely forms up on lake surfaces though, as wind will lead to deformations. Likely, judging by the mist, it warmed up just slightly and there is a very thin film of water.
Clear ice can still look impressive, though a touch of imperfections usually. Video below, not sure if language cause audio isn't the best, but warned? >.>

Yep, totally amazing but not enough for me to walk on it.

I think you have to grow up with it. Though I have fallen through a frozen pool before - not fun.
Does remind me of a story my father told me, back from the 70's I want to say. They had been out at the bar, and had a couple of drinks before taking off. My father's friend told him he wanted to show him something, and so they drove off towards the lake. It was late January, so quite cold. As the friend drove down the road towards the launch, my father kept asking "well, what are you showing me anyhow?"
"Oh, almost there," as the friend turned onto the boat launch and proceeded to drive the car onto the lake. My father, just before the car hit the ice, had started to open the door to jump out if things turned for the worse. Luckily, they did not, they ended up doing donuts on the lake for a while before driving off it.
True story.
Now that aside, the mirroring caused by thin films of water, Salar de Uyuvi is amazing.

That Ferrari pic is pretty awesome, I have it on my HDD for about 2 years now. Use it as a wallpaper every now and then. 👍
Now, I wanted to post this, which is a painting and not a photo. But I'm not going to create a new thread for it and it's (imho) so cool that it deserves to be here.
If I were to title this, I'd call it "What if..."

hmmmmm.
It's a 'what if' image of Senna's fatal crash where he doesn't die. With modern tech, that probably exactly what would have happened. He'd have just got out of the crumpled wreck.
I find it particularly spooky though.

The Ferrari pic is of Stefan Johansson at Monaco and it's by Rainer Schlegelmilch. He gets some fantastic shots.

And it sucks. You know how little stars you see around here?
I see circles:
Centre pivot irrigation in Saudi Arabia.
A backfire occurs in the inlet manifold.
