Wednesday’s Photos
Ice Sculptures
Winter has finally arrived. Extreme cold has gripped the Arrow Lakes region with temperatures hovering around the minus 15 C mark. Luckily, the cold weather was still tolerable, as the sun was casting its brilliance over the winter landscape. My wife and I all bundled up walked along the lakeshore at the Fauquier boat dock. The freezing temperatures had worked hard to cover driftwood, boulders and boat launch with a thick layer of ice. Then I discovered icicles in all kinds of forms and shapes which I captured with my camera. The following is just a small sample of Nature’s artwork. Enjoy.

Zauberhaft. Bei uns endete am Montag der Zauber von Eis und Schnee, schade!

One doesn’t need to go to art to the museums, when there is so much art in nature waiting to be discovered.

Nature is a splendid artist, and you have the eye to see it! On one of the photos I see a hand, I think … and the last one looks like somebody on his knees pointing and the birds are turning around to see what he is pointing at. Simply wonderful!

Indeed, I saw the hand in it right away, before I even took the picture. As beautiful the hand looks, I would prefer to receive a hand shake from a warm-blooded human being.

I agree. But with the travel bans in effect, we will have to put with the cold.

Why would your camera be ruined? Is it sensitive to cold?

There has been lots of snow on the mountains, but very little in the valleys.

A great winter album, Peter! Shots 2 -4 might be of milk cows, perhaps the udders where they get ice cream. That final scene, of Dr. Seuss creatures on the beach, is very cool!

The fourth picture looks like an upper set of teeth. For once Austin has offered up similar scenes.

Funny, you get the cold now that spring has arrived in Germany (+17 today in Düsseldorf) and we’ve got thaw now in southern Finland. Still -22 on Wednesday and today +2. What an extreme weather change.

I’ve got to “hand” it to you, those are some fine icicles you found and photographed, Peter. In addition to the hand number three is “udderly” lovely. 🙂

At this time of the year, when everything is still grey around here, I definitely would enjoy being in Florida. Alas there is Covid-19.
