Grapes of Ice

Gallery: LandscapePosted February 4, 2014202 views12 comments

Got a chance to grab some ice pictures during some sub-zero weather between a January thaw and the return of the deep snows. This was on a local brook where the water rises and falls a lot during the winter. Tomorrow this will be under a foot of show.

P.S. Hey, where is everybody? Only one post in landscape in the past 24 hours!

Unusual ice formation. Guess this would make chilled white wine. Great eye Wayne, this would fit perfectly in this weeks weekly challenge.

Thanks Gary. Yeah, I knew this one would be fun.

I did see the WC topic, but this does not fit it, because it's not "texture on the surface of ice." The surface here was perfectly flat and smooth, with all the texture below the surface.

I was wondering the same thing, Wayne. Then I realized it's February, and usually traffic slows way down during the middle of winter. Although, it does seem less than usual for this time of year.

Love the cold feel to this, and the interesting patterns in the ice. A beautiful abstract, Wayne.

I like the colors and textures in this Wayne and your processing gives it a nice cool mood. Very nice abstract.

Very nice image Wayne. The color tones are appealing and appropriate to the season. Well seen and presented. Chet

Great find Wayne. It surely does look like grapes.

This is so cool, Wayne. This looks exactly like a clump of grapes waiting to be picked. I love the cool blue tones and great eye to spot this wonderful abstract.

Aptly titled! I really like that little guy in the corner.
