Black Ice

The group of cool-toned ice pictures were photographed at the intermittent stream adjacent to our home. These are black and white photographs, but since I applied a faint split-tone to each, “monochrome” wouldn’t be the right word to describe them.

Despite temperatures well below freezing, the creek has remained in a state of partial freeze, and in various spots it can be seen pulsing below the ice. Most lakes and ponds, on the other hand, are solid enough to walk on.

  1. I like this iron color, cold as steel. Thank goodness for the motif around the house, I can barely see out the window because of all the wet low pressure that pours in from the Atlantic.

  2. Aren’t you lucky to have that stream! Now it’s covered with such attractive ice patterns, later maybe snow, then the spring thaw…. Maybe the creek flows fast enough that it doesn’t completely freeze? Regardless, each image is a gem and they fit together like pieces of a puzzle.
