From the archives but reprocessed with newer tools. More cold nights (teens) and cool days (20’s) so winter is hangin’ on for a little while longer. Clocks change this weekend here in DST country. Not sure whether that is a good thing or not.

That long one on the right looks like a club.
I for one would rather follow Arizona’s model and stay on standard time all year long.

I had called them ice clubs previously. I don’t care which would be adopted-one or the other. Pick one and stick with it. Actually, I think I prefer staying with DST. Sunrise is early enough and 4:00 remaining as 5:00 works for me.

They do look a bit like caveman clubs, but they struck me first as elongated pine cones

Pine cones work too. Someone on Facebook said they looked like crystal earrings.

And of course I hear the sound of the rushing water behind it. Beautiful.

I used to record some of these as videos. Should probably start again. Thanks, Michael.

I especially like the way the limb bisects the background, leaving the darker hues above, and lighter ones below. That’s a really nice touch.

Thanks, Linda. I did aid that effect but it was there to start with…just a lit extra push in post processing. I also dodged the icicles to help them stand out more.

I suspect dodging the icicles helped you to keep standing, too!

It’s a whole cluster of them this time. Just fascinating to see these. I’m with Steve Schwatzman. Having lived in Arizona I grew to prefer their model of not changing time twice a year. As you said, though, it does also have its benefits.

It’s the year of the pendant, Todd. 🙂 As we are about to lose an hour of sleep, so to speak, I guess I am not a fan of leaping forward. OTOH, sunrise arriving an hour later sounds good.

Crazy! I have seen that type of ice formation only a few times, closer to the mountains. It won’t happen here. Knock on wood!

You never know. Steve S. recently posted a couple of these of his own…seen in Texas. 🙂
