Frost Flowers

Winter Art

A Frosty Day


It's been cold the last few days. As I'm typing this it is -14C. So you need to dress correctly while out shooting. It's not really my kind of weather, but if you can't beat them...

I was out looking for hoarfrost photos recently. It is always fascinating to zoom in on white ice crystals like the ones you see here.
