Water and ice at Crystal Cascades, Mt. Washington, NH. Not much of a winter here in New England yet. It was 50F in Southern New Hampshire today. This was taken in February 2010. My youngest son was climbing Mt. Washington this day (the home of the worst weather in the world) while I played around down below the tree line photographing these falls in subzero wind chill. There were 50 - 60 mph winds where he was so I should not complain.

Thanks for taking the time to look and for any comments or critiques you wish to leave.

Love the cool blues, Eva! Neat abstract.

Yes, I remember climbing Washington many, many years ago and meeting brutal weather on the summit. The most fascinating thing being the huge ice flutes lying perpendicular from the wires holding the weather station down. Not sure if the station is still there?

Mesmerizing! The larger view is a "must see" - love all the different areas of textures. lines, shades of colour.
Beautiful..

Love the cool blue color! This is really nice, Eva. I think you did an excellent job with the comp and also capturing the motion. Your large version is wonderful to look at.

Eva,

This is superb! I love everything about this from the color, to the texture, flow and composition. There is much to explore and much to try and figure out - which makes this engaging as well. Excellent balance and arrangement between the solid ice and flow of water. One of my new favorites of yours!

Powerful, Eva. Lots of interesting form in the ice, and that combined with the raging water is really something.

This is a beautiful abstract with lots of flow and energy to hold my interest. In spite of the hard, cold subject, it has a feeling of softness that I find very engaging

Great combination of moving and frozen water. Movement and solid. Nice.

Love the cool cyan color of the ice, Eva, and your comp works very well too. I'm sweltering over here today, so this image is helping me cool down!

Fantastic, Eva. The tones in the ice are of course stunning but I really like the texture in the water flow that you captured. Together with the tremendous range of blue tones, your image is really outstanding in every respect. Powerful beauty.

I like the mix of of ice and the water. Bubbly brain ice is so cool! Not much of a winter so far. I have yet to use my season pass at Bretton Woods for X Country

I guess this could be the year of ice!
