the ice storm, part 3

January 13, 2005 – 10:56 am
Are you getting icestorm fatique?
Although almost everything above ground level had ice on it (including each individual blade of grass), the roads, while constantly wet, never did freeze. I generally find asphalt driveways to be utilitarian and unremarkable, but there is something evocative about this shot. Perhaps it is the reflection of the trees.
Hang in there, only 9 more icestorm photos to go!
One of the fields near my friends’ house.
There is something about ice on maple leaves that just says 'Canada.'
Notice the curved icicles. This happened because as the branch gradually bends beneath the increasing weight of the ice, the orientation of the icicles changed. I saw some icicles which pointed straight up, and then curved around to point back down.
