The Weekend in Black and White: Ice as a painter


When I empty the ice from the bird bath it makes pictures through melting and refreezing.

    It's really beautiful, so impressive texture and it's perfect in b&w!
    Have a nice weekend dear Carver!

    This is absolutely fascinating. I know you just love it when you are able to capture such an image. It is especially nice in black and white. All I can do is shoot on top of our hot tub turned goldfish pond, and I get some interesting shots, too.

    The patterns mad by ice can be extremely interesting - as you have shown here.

    That's creative. Well observed. Ice and snow can make beautiful shapes indeed.

    At first glance I thought this was wooden. There is such a great variety of textures, a cool (pardon the pun) photo.
