That makes a fantastic fringe. Might be a bit chilly and drippy to dance in though! 🙂

A nice warm pair of woolens would solve that. 🙂 Thanks, Ann!

I’ve seen plenty of icicle bunches but this was the most I’ve seen so far and I was a joy to see and photograph. Thanks, Cindy!

The different densities make the image even more interesting. I really like the clarity of some of the ‘dangles,’ but in the upper right (and a couple of other places) the ice looks like stacked candies: the sort we used to get in ‘necklaces.’ Of course, my first impression was like yours; the ice reminded me of the fringe around the bottom of a dress, or perhaps a lamp shade.

I never saw a candle necklace, at least that I can recall. A lampshade was my second thought but most often someone dancing with a lampshade is not a good thing. 🙂

Voila! A candy necklace.</a.

Oopsie! Obviously I misread candles for candies. I have seen and eaten those necklaces although not in the last 50+ years.

Thanks, Donna! This year hasn’t been good for ice photography with only a few days below freezing. I was very happy to find these as it takes a while for them to form.

Looks like a double dripper. Must have been some interesting weather. It’s a beauty.

Hot and cold. Luckily I visited this spot right after some cold weather but it’s been warmish lately and more warmth in our forecast. Thanks!

WOW … very cool ice formation. B&W was a good choice here.

As often is the case, the image decided on its own that black and white was the way to go. I’ve shot a lot of ice pendants/icicles over the years but this and its neighbor are probably the best bunches I’ve seen.
