I’m currently at home with a little cold, but two mornings ago I made the most of the cold temperatures and visited a small stream in Ellanor C. Lawrence Park, Virginia to hopefully photograph some ice. Sure enough, there were some interesting ice formations in the stream, and I spent several hours in a small area photographing them. Here, I zoomed in quite close on a portion of ice with a curvy line in it. The pattern reminded me of a yin-yang type of thing!

Got a cold myself, so I can sympathize!
Really nice shot! Do you know what causes lines like these?

Hi Paul,
Hope you’re feeling better. I am
I’m not exactly sure what causes these lines, but as I was photographing them and watching the water and ice, I got the feeling that the lapping water under the ice made large pockets of air, that then froze into different bubble-like shapes … hence the curviness.
Yep, I’m feeling better, thanks!
And thanks for the explanation!
God bless,
Paul
