The Weekend in Black and White: Another bird bath ice shot


This is the second week in a row that I've featured ice I've dumped out of my deck bird bath but it's fun for me to photograph it, especially at this stage. During colder winter weather it comes out in big blocks and requires a lot of thawing to get it out, but these early winter thin sheets have a lot more variation.

    I love the patterns in this ice. Somehow it resembles the big markings on the dessert in Peru. :)

    Time to start digging out my ice photos, but hoping we don't get too much here.

    I love abstracts and this is superb! Now here's what's funny...I'm just ahead of your picture and mine is also an abstract, but quite different from yours.
    Happy B&W, Carver

    Great ice picture, though I'm pretty sure the birds won't be impressed with the frozen bath.
