Ice Flows, or Maybe Not



Time for another ice photo. I know Sarah (my wife) is tired of these, but it's because she's been seeing them for years. So I discount her opinion on the ice photos as biased.

I was intrigued by the way this one turned out, as it looks like bubbles being poured from a very transparent pitcher. In fact, these bubbles were trapped in the ice in that formation making them appear to be in motion. This is one of the reasons I love shooting the ice, these photos can reveal something sculptural and familiar (christmas ornaments, chandeliers, a sunrise, insect eggs, etc.) among the abstract patterns and random currents of the freezing ice.

I'll post one that looks like fish swimming upstream sometime soon, for all you ice fans out there.

Send me your suggestions for something tiny that you'd like to see big.
