Ice was the story this last weekend, and its detrimental effects on power lines continue to affect thousands of people (myself included). Having seen some of the damaged areas, it could be another week or more before power is restored.
Even as I was watching trees that had withstood storms for hundreds of years splinter under the weight of the ice, I was struck by the beauty of the ice – and awed by its power.

I like this a lot. Nice use of repetitious diagonal lines.
To bad about the power trouble. Our power was out for 10 days there several years ago. Next time we are heading South till we find a hotel room. We burned the last stick of wood and the power came on.

Nicely done Tim, good DOF and you captured good detail and texture in the ice. The red berries seem to be encased in crystal. A really fantistic shot, good work and thanks for sharing!

Beautiful shot Tim. I love the comp and complimentary b/g. It never ceases to amaze me how some of the most beautiful creations of nature can be so destructive. Hope all is well with you and all who have been affected by this recent storm. Thanks for sharing

The weather reports were saying how much ice you guys up there - looks like they weren't exaggerating. I know it probably looks like a war zone, but the trees do come back sooner than I used to think.
This is really nice Tim. The quantity of ice around those berries is impressive, as well as the rounded shape and texture of the ice. I really like seeing how the small snowflakes were preserved as they were frozen-in. Nice work, and I'm glad you didn't lose anything worse than the power and some trees.
