Yes the contrast between the immaculately detailed black E60 and the stark but beautiful white scenery is incredible.
The big contrast makes it very difficult to take decent pics, where the details of the car and the environment would both be visible. HDR techniques would be needed, but I keep failing on that subject every time I try

While quite snowy and seemingly cold, you appear to live in a beautiful part of the world. Thank you for sharing it with us. 
BTW: How did you get your car on/off the ice? Was there enough snow for traction? I suppose if you go real slow....but what if your wheels started slipping and you got stuck out there!?!?!?

Thanks again guys!
There's an ice road on the lake. It's not sanded or anything, there's just some snow on the ice and where there's no snow, the ice surface has become rough during winter so it's not a problem at all. And even if it was pure slick ice, it wouldn't be a big problem as I have studded tires. Climbing up slippery hills and starting off on the icy surface are the basic things that are taught in a driving schools around here. For obvious reasons...
