Eliza Waters 
They are like waves on an ocean – lovely
Thank you! 🙂 water, liquid or solid, behaves the same everywhere, I guess!
These look like waves holding still for the camera. I cannot imagine the process in nature that produced these forms. What a wonder to capture & share!
I find it fascinating. The water continues to flow and freeze. This is a slow seeping that produces layers. I’ll post later what the cascades look like as well as the edges. Each has a unique form – so cool! 🙂
Can’t wait to see the next installment.
These are beautiful, but I’m cold just looking at them. 🙂
Thanks, Bun. Armchair travel is the best, isn’t it? 😉
And it’s travel at a price I can afford. 🙂
So beautiful, Eliza. I may just follow up on some ice sculptures from here. You know – you and me – we are drawn to so many of the same things. I love that!! ❤
Thank you, Mary. Yes, you would have loved this stream. It was so cold and windy, but the ice was incredible. Everywhere I turned there was some unique formation that dazzled me!
Isn’t it nice to be so dazzled all the time? I had a dazzly day this weekend too. Took lots of pictures.
I’ll look forward to seeing what you captured!
Great photos! How wonderfully you captured ice.
Thank you kindly! 🙂
Very cool or cold Eliza!
Definitely cold! ;-D Thanks, Mike.
They are really beautiful but it looks so cold!
Thank you, Pauline. A bit chilly that day, but the beauty captured me completely!
Beautiful waves of ice. They almost looks like a glass staircase. Very cool. 🙂
Thanks, Robin. Perfect description – it is like a staircase, albeit a very slippery one! The ice formations on this stream had me gaga!
Stunning photos…
Thank you very much!
Extraordinary landscapes or is this a frozen riverscape? It’s so beautiful – I imagine being outdoors to take the shots is challenging!
Thanks, Liz. This is from a nearby stream. The day was rather bitter (-26C windchill) but I was so in ‘the zone’ I barely felt it, thanks to a down coat and insulated boots. I was out for two hours before I had to pack it in, due to stiff fingers. Ice is so mesmerizing to me, it continues to build and change every day.
Nature sculpts so beautifully!
Indeed she does, and prolifically as well!
gosh, how cold it must be there! I agree completely with Kimberley above, they are like beautiful sculptures. Keep warm!
Thank you, Ann. It is common at this time of year to go weeks without the temps rising about freezing, so we get these lovely ice formations. As we haven’t had snow, they haven’t been covered over. The gallery is open until it does!
Amazing pictures of nature in the cold 🙂
Thank you, Karen. Cold it is – beautiful ice is one of the benefits of winter. 🙂
Lovely captures of Natures water sculptures Eliza!
Thank you, Val! 🙂
Eliza your captures of frozen nature are exquisite. The staircase of frozen wavelets is awesome to one who has never experienced the degree of cold that you live with. I hope you weren’t in the pathway of storm Jonas.
Thank you, Maureen. It is a fantastic, frozen world out there right now.
No, fortunately the big storm passed us by. Others were not as fortunate.
Goodness, an esplanade of ice steps. They must have been dazzling in the light.
Yes, the beauty was amazing!
Hello Eliza, as I was visiting blogs this evening, I realized that a few times, I was following you. So of course, I had to visit. And I’m so glad that I did. Aren’t those ice formations amazing?!
Yes, indeed, they are. Thanks for your visit!
Such beautiful shapes created by the ice! Have you been to Yellowstone? The shape reminded me or Mammoth hot springs.
Thank you, Inger. No, I’ve not yet had that pleasure, but I’d like to one day.
Your eye catches such beauty! and I also want to thank you for all of your encouragement this past year, Eliza! You posted the MOST comments on my blog! WOW! Thank YOU! I am hoping to do better this year…time will tell…difficulty in writing lately…THANK YOU for all of your kind words these past 12 months!
Thank you, Jane.
Let’s hope that claim to fame is a good one – 🙂 Hope 2016 is an exceptional year for you!
I absolutely love this!! I just took a walk today and took so many pictures of the ice and snow and sludge all around! It was so hard walking in that slippery stuff but so inspiring! Winter really is quite beautiful! Even with cold slush in my shoes! Lovely photos!! I love the texture and ridges and the slippery look. ❤ 😀
Thank you very much, Kim. I expect the storm is melting off pretty quickly in Philly?
Yeah, the storm ended a couple days ago; now it’s just melting snow, ice, and sludge everywhere! It makes for great photos! 😀
Brrr…. wonderful patterns of nature, Eliza. Ice is so captivating.
Indeed… thanks, Jane!
Gorgeous ice patterns.
The stream was amazing – thanks for your visit, Fi. 🙂
How fascinating. It is like the tide coming in.
Yes, it is… a frozen tide! Thanks, Allison. 🙂
I have never seen such wonderful shapes in ice before. Lovely photos Eliza.
Thank you, Cathy. 🙂
Lovely. Mysterious. Beauty everywhere!
Yes, 🙂 thank you, Albert!
They are beautiful, the perpetual motion of water caught by The Snow Queen.
Yes, exactly! Thank you. 🙂
Beautiful photos, Eliza! I just about fell off my chair because my next post will be of ICE! Wow!!! I’m laughing as I write this …. we are on the same page! ❤
Absolutely, what else do we northern nature lovers have to take photos of? 😉 With the lack of snow so far, the ice has been fantastic, yes? Thanks, Amy, looking forward to your ‘icy’ post. ❤
I just finished editing my images of ice and all I can is wow! It’s a good thing I did because today I am seeing green grass again! Everything has melted (again)! This has been the oddest winter! ❤
It really is odd, to say the least! I see that the end of this week and all next the highs here will be in the 40s. What little snow we have will surely be gone by the end of the week. Very unusual winter!
Great choice of monochrome, I like it.
Maybe it is in color, now that I think.
Yes, monochromatic color! 😉
Yes, I know what you mean!
These are lovely images of winter’s drawings, shapes and shadows.
Thank you very much, Dor!
COOL! (I see a painting in these!)
Could be 🙂 Thanks, Kathy.
