The Lake in Winter - Photograph by Dora Sofia Caputo
I captured this image of a frozen Oakland Lake, in New York, on a cold wintry day, after one of the several storms of the winter season.
Oakland Lake is a 15,000-year-old spring-fed glacial kettle pond located in Alley Pond Park. The lake, once known as Mill Pond, became known as Oakland Lake, named for the 19th century estate on this site called “The Oaks” for the many oak trees in the area.
Oakland Lake is fed by underground springs and a ravine, and at one time it was speculated that the lake was 600 feet deep and had a massive underground river leading to nearby Little Neck Bay.
