Whale Tail Ice

















Well, I think there is a very good chance that we're going to lose most if not all of our shoreline ice in the coming week.  We went out last night looking to photograph the ice at sunset and after just a couple of days in the low to mid 30's, the ice looks… well… kinda gross.  It has lost all of its beautiful clarity.  Most of it is now partially melted and it just doesn't have the beauty that it had a week ago.  It's bound to happen, I was just hoping it might hang on for another week or so.  But, the forecast for the next week is calling for temperatures to reach up into the mid 40's so the ice will soon be gone.  Then, we'll be on to different things to focus on for photography.  For now, here is one of the more interesting pieces of ice that I found to photograph a few days ago. This chunk of ice was sticking up out of the water, attached to a large flat plate of ice floating just beneath the surface.  It was fascinating to watch as it bobbed around in the waves.
