It has been so cold for so long, that the harbor is beginning to ice over. There was a thin coating of ice the other day - perhaps half an inch thick. The ice is now about eight or ten inches thick, and it fractures and piles up upon itself, as the tide rises and falls. It really is beautiful. And the cool thing is when I expose for the really bright ice, the sky ends up being naturally darker. I love the look of this. When I shot this, the temperature was 20 degrees F, which is -7 degrees C (for my Australian friends) and the wind was gusting above 25 MPH. Wow, was that cold! I did not stay out here long. Please click on this to see it in a larger size. It is beautiful!
Amazing that the harbor can freeze over. At what point can you walk across to Port Washington ?
ReplyDeleteFantastic picture - but where are the penguins?
ReplyDeletewhite milk chocolate bark. yummy to think about. a feast for the eyes in this lovely photograph.
ReplyDeleteIt is unbelievable that the harbor would ice over. It seems as if the temperatures have gone back to the temps from years ago!! So glad you captured this scene. bsk
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your comments. I wouldn't risk walking over to Port Washington. There are fuel barges that tugboats bring down to the end of the harbor, so it may look as if you can walk across, but I think you can't.
