Cosmic Ice

A close up of the top of a large icicle...which is actually more like a frozen sheet of water. When the setting sun hit this icicle, it burst into colors and sparkles, reminding me of Hubble images of distant galaxies.

 

For the record..I am aware of the unsightly awning in the upper background...it almost kept me from posting this. I did try cropping it, but it didn't look right..so I let it be.

Edited to add: After viewing on my mobile phone I noticed the awning was barely visible due to the darker tones from increasing the contrast. Now I see why no one notices it..which is great!

 

Happy Macro Monday! Don't forget to zoom in :-)
