1901_0542 Ice On a Rock
This photo uses contrast to make its point. Sharpness contrast, the unmoving ice-encrusted rock vs the liquid flow of a rushing river; colour contrast, the icy blues of reflected sky vs the warmer highlights on the water surface. I never get tired of looking for interesting photos of ice forming in early winter - or in this case, mid-winter, following a chinook wind that warmed the prairie for a few days and loosened that season's icy grip. Winter did return with a vengeance, allowing me to photograph a second freeze-up. This was last winter. Right now, it's happening again, and if my imagination doesn't fail me there will be more ice shots to come over the next couple of months.
