Nature's Ice Sculptures: Part THREE

Today is the last of my series
of the frozen ice sculptures
we saw in the woods.

In addition, about a 1/2 mile from our house on the lake,
(right beside a busy highway)
is a rock cliff
which has been "growing" an ice sculpture
that I have been drooling over for a few weeks now.

I finally had to stop the car and take photos of it for you.

This is a shot of part of the icefalls right beside the highway.
The sky you see in the background is over our lake:










I love the drama that winter snow and ice lends to black and white photography.

I do most of my black and white photos this time of year because of that.

This one begged for black and white in my photographer's eye:








Alot of our icicles on the rocks around here are yellow...we have a lot of iron ore in our rocks
and minerals in our soil.








Which makes great color in the white time of this year and against the rock's
backdrop:









I love looking at the ice closeup and personal:







Or on a wide view:








And the snowcapped ice
is enchanting:

















I hope your day today
 is as golden as these icicles,

as fun as the "powdered sugar" on the icicles

and as intriguing
as this Nature's showcase:
