2017 Nov. 18 ~ Rock icicles, mid-autumn
***************************************************************************
Photographed near the Watson family cottage on Peninsula Lake, near Huntsville, Ontario, Canada (in the Muskoka region)
* 230 km by road north of Toronto
A month after the end of summer, with winter still two months away, a cold snap brought freezing temperatures to the southern part of the Province of Ontario.
Water constantly seeps from the rock of the extreme southern Canadian Shield, freezing into icicles as it hits the cold air. This early in the cold season they are small but quite delicate. Ripples on the surfaces of the icicles are caused by wind that makes the water deflect as it runs down the icicles and freezes.
