remember

Hello!

Could you please help me rewrite the following sentence in a more natural way in English?

''Long ago, I remember having seen Lake X freeze and it was a beautiful spectacle!''
  

Top answer

It's natural as written, although I'd add a pause (a comma) after 'freeze'. More precise is eg I remember seeing Lake X frozen long ago, and it was a beautiful spectacle! The seeing was long ago.

The seeing was long ago. Not the remembering.
