Eliza Waters 
This is so … so … glacial! Cool shot!
Thank you, Kathy. See what you missed? heheh 😉
Great shot Eliza, I can’t complete with that much ice!
Thank you, Christina. It’s hard to show scale, but this chunk is about 8″ thick. There is a blade of grass curled on a small piece caught at the top. That stretch of cold around New Year created a lot of thick ice!
And the ice has lasted since then?! Omg 😮
It has been melting the past few weeks. We have serious winter here!
Great depth to the photo. The ice seems to have more than three dimensions!
Thank you, Carol. The light worked well for the shot.
No word needed. It’s still cold as we finish February.
A few more weeks to go, then I hope we’ll be done with winter. 🙂
Awesome shot! Perfect for February. We’re still cold, but things are melting!
Thank you, Lisa. Going in the right direction!
Nice ice!
Thank you, David. 🙂
Beautiful!
Thank you, Mary! ❤
I can’t quite figure it out — I know it’s ice but at the same time it looks like an angry snake or eel head opening its mouth…
You have a vivid imagination, Chris! It’s a perfect rorschach test. 🙂
To me it looks like a Giant looking upon a frozen lake with skaters… a strip of woods in the back and rocks on the right.
Hmmm, I think I can see it. As I said to Chris, it’s a good rorschach test. 🙂
Wowsah! As we would say in Maine, that is some ice.
It’d be perfect for the ice house…if we still had them. 🙂
They are gone, gone, gone. In central Maine, ice was once an economic asset. But then came electricity and refrigerators, and that took care of that.
Almost expecting to see a Polar Bear! Great photo.
Thank you!
Looks like a big fearsome fish…fangs and all.
Heheh, thanks for your impression, Dor. 🙂
That’s a great photo Eliza! Beautiful and fascinating too. We have ice on our open water too, but not as clear and pretty as that!
Thank you, Cathy. Clear ice comes from a fast, deep freeze (no bubbles). It was that cold – glad that weather is behind us!
Awesome shot, Eliza! Wow!
Thank you, Amy! 🙂
A wonderful picture – way out of my experience!
Thank you, Anne. The cold that created this, you have done well to miss! 😉
Photographs can tell, but also evoke, stories. I think the black background here helps the ice to do both. The longer I look, the more I seem to hear.
Thank you, Albert. Every one worth a thousand words. 🙂
I see what looks like a forest of trees floating on clouds, all encased in ice.
🙂 Thanks, Kris!
That is pretty cool!
Pun! 🙂 Thanks, Karina.
🙂
Glacial!
Yes, our little piece of the iceberg. 😉
Amazing 💚💕
Thanks, Karen!
That is really cool!
🙂 Thanks, Wendy!
Wow. That’s some thick ice! Did the river freeze completely over? Great picture. I think it looks like the toe of a shoe. Cinderella’s slipper, perhaps.
Being a fast-moving river, it rarely freezes across, but this year it did, up to 10″ in places. The bitter cold lasted for weeks, we were rather miserable up here!
Thanks for sharing your vision, too. 🙂
Sounds like it was really, really cold. It was colder than usual here in Jan too, but has been unusually warm in Feb. Our trees are blooming, like it’s spring. I’m afraid we’ll have some more hard freezes that will kill everything. 😦
I know, that is my worry every year when it gets warm early and things break dormancy. Two years ago the peach blossoms were out and there was a hard frost, so the orchards that year had no peaches to sell. My favorite summer fruit, too! 😦
😦 I’m afraid that may happen here this year.
Think warm temps, warm temps, warm… 😉
I’m doing my best. They are calling for low 20’s this weekend. Maybe it won’t last long enough to kill everything that has bloomed out. Fingers crossed.
Love it! I saw the head of a fish, tooth-filled mouth open.
Thank you, Peter. It’s interesting to see what others see!
I can imagine a mountain range against an icy shoreline. It’s a beautiful shot.
Thank you very much, Belinda!
Clever composition, that piece of ice is presenting a lot of information about what’s going on inside and outside the ice!
It’s true. 🙂 Thank you, C.S!
Fantastic picture Eliza.
Thank you, Brian.
Superb frozen fish
😀 Thanks, Derrick!
Beautiful shot!🙂 I love how you captured the contrast of the ice and water and the reflections around the edges.🙂 Our ice is pretty thin here and I actually thought everything would melt before our winter storm arrives today.😥
Thank you! We’re supposed to get a mix of rain and sleet ( 😦 ) with high winds, which I do NOT like!
I really like how you captured so many different looks of ice in just one shot. And to think, there are people in the world who only know ice as something in a drink…
Thank you, Sarah. Yes, northerners have a whole difference experience. Though I’ve never been interested in trying a night in one of those ice hotels! NOT! 😉
My sister and I had a drink in one up in Alaska – it was great for an hour or so (with booze), but that was plenty for me. We headed to the hot springs after that!
Smart thinking!
Beautiful shot!
Thank you, Bela!
I love the details you picked up on the ice surface!
Thank you, Christy!
Gorgeous!
Thank you, Fi!
wordless but not endless-LOL…spring is coming!
Yes, indeed!
No words needed! That is a magnificent photo.!
Thank you, Maria!
Amazing that this ice comes from a river. What a sculpture!
It is huge, too, like a piece of furniture. 🙂
Like you, nature figures prominently in our lives. Stunning capture!
Thank you, Daniel!
