Abstract ice

[Ken Rennie]

For the last 10 days we have had temperatures mostly below 20F, not cold by North American standards but still chilly. Today we had a heat wave and it climbed to 30F but it is back down to 15F tonight. I went out to photograph a stream hoping for some ice and this is the first image. Ken

That’s a whole lot of ice. Beautiful result

That might not be cold compared to some places in North America but it's downright frigid compared to the Pacific NW. Those are some really nice ice formations and if these temps stay this low you should be able to get lots more if you have the clothing to keep you warm enough to keep shooting.

That's so sweet Ken. It's like there is a minature cave back in there.

Another image from Yesterday. Alan it didn`t feel that cold while the sun was still up yesterday because there was no breeze. Today the temp is just below freezing but a wind is blowing and it feels cold, snow on the way. This image is a tiny slice of a 70ft waterfall. Ken

Sweet! Waterfalls in subfreezing temperatures can be fun.

Both are nice images, Ken. I especially like the last one.

Douglas the second image is my favourite too and one of my favourite shots of the year. Ken

Thanks pepper. As usual I took images at widely varying shutter speeds, this is actually 2 shots merged 1/13 and 1/2s. Mostly 1/2s but with some 1/13s blended in at specific areas. Ken

They can also be fairly dangerous, although this time I didn't clamber around on icy rocks. I could see better locations but decided that falling into the beck wasn't worth the risk. I am getting much more risk averse as I get older. Ken

Sounds like an excellent plan for getting to be older yet
