Yes, I know. It’s a cheesy title. But it does look like it was dipped.
In reality the ice accumulated on the stick from spray and splash in front of the dam waterfall at Harvard Pond.

It was fun photographing and processing.

Fascinating formation, Steve. It reminds me of some of the cave photos I have seen of stalactites.

That’s a good comparison, Mike. These grow from by accretion too.

I had to double check when I wrote my comment, Steve, because I get confused in remembering the difference between stalactites and stalagmites. 🙂

Thanks, Reed. In processing I did everything I could to create separation from the background.

The clarity of your ice never fails to impress me. It especially shines in this image. I never would have thought of fondue, that’s for sure. I see a frozen version of growth scooped out of the pond with a stick.

Sometimes the ioce is a bit more cloudy depending on the air in the water. Also the speed of cooling has a lot to do with clarity as well. We had the same vision. I saw this as being pulled from the water but thought of it as food rather than scooped goop.

There is so much beauty all around us if we only look, even in something as common as ice. Thanks, Peter!

This formation is absolutely striking! The glass-like effect actually reminds me more of a chandelier than cheese, but I can see your perspective!

It was a cheesy perspective I admit. I like the chandelier vision with all this crystal. Thanks, Carol!

For me, your fondue analogy hit the best target. It’s our tradition to do a whole family cheese fondue to celebrate each New Year, and your nearly-monochrome icy relative made my mouth, um, water.

Despite its popularity, I can only remember having cheese fondue once, ever. OTOH, chocolate fondue I have had more than once although not in many years. Careful that watering mouth does freeze on this fondue. Did you keep that tradition this year?

Absolutely. Would you like our recipe?

Thanks but I don’t think we’d make one. Plus at this point in my digestive life that much cheese might be an issue for the environment around me.
