Refrozen ice
Another image of crystals that formed on stream ice that melted and refroze:
Just a bit of blue in this one – it’s nearly black and white. The spiky, comb-like crystals formed on thicker pieces of ice.
Notes from the field, essays, and observations.

What linearity.
The lines were the thing – long crystals at different angles. The ice patch is a couple of inches across.
It looks as though someone filleted the ice, took the meat, and left the bones behind.
Yes, they do look like fish bones!
I enjoy finding refrozen ice like you have here, Tom. My next to last post was a wild one. One has to be careful not to fracture them. As much as I am enjoying making ice images this winter, I’ll be happy to shoot without gloves again.
I’ve learned to be careful about breaking ice and crystals – but only after messing up a few beautiful things. Glad you’re getting out and about more!
