JUNGLES OF ICE
     Perfect conditions give rise to these rare frozen gardens. Each short window of photo opportunity is brief: a day or two, or a few hours. You need wind, freezing cold, waves and spray, plants and rocks, good lighting, no snow, and no thawing... and then these extraordinary ice formations arise. These pure moments converge maybe two or three brief times in a winter.
Some years the ice is milky and opaque, some years it's a crystal clear looking-glass that magnifies whatever is entombed within. Even the changing light of day will reveal new landscapes. Enjoy.
