Phase Transition

It's been cold enough at night that the first thin layers of ice are forming on larger rivers like the Saugeen in Southampton. After I took this shot, I noticed the CGS Samuel Risley just off the harbor entrance. I took a few pictures, but the ship was distorted by heat shimmer. It was cold so this had to be coming from the water. If that's indeed the case, there will be more then a phase transition in the river - we're in for a snowy winter.
