Floating

Floating like fractured glass, clusters of shuga ice drift along the dark waters of the Neris River in Vilnius, Lithuania. These delicate formations resemble translucent petals or broken crystal, swirling slowly in the current’s embrace. Above, the rhythm of city life continues, as cars quietly move across the bridge.
