There was no snow on the ground or ice on the river, but the
temperature had been in the mid-teens for several mornings and hadn’t been

on a calm morning, I was walking along the river admiring the sculptures
created by the wind, waves and chill.
Low hanging branches of riverside trees had
been repeatedly washed by the wind-driven waves, building up ice formations on
the dangling twigs. The ice sculptures presented a lot of photographic
opportunities, here are some of them –
Warm weather was forecast for the next

Cool shots! In the thumbnail I thought it was a jellyfish!
