What a study in shapes and lines you have captured. ROCK is all over the place. I think the bird is saying goodbye to winter and getting ready for spring. Might even be on a nesting hunt. Little rocks are saying: "I wish I was big like those other guys up there." Guys up there are saying: "I wish I was young again." Trees are saying: "I hate talking rocks."
John, I really love this. All the beautiful ice formations are spectacular. I love the textures and brown-white-black colors.
And of caurse the beautiful bird. Wonderful!
Darn. I thought you had a picture of Han Solo in a spaceship. LOL. But this is just as good. You captured that bird just right. Pretty cool, all those little falls. Hey, you actually got two birds in there. I just saw the other one. I didn't at first. Nice ice formations. Good work, John.
John, the steps look so uniform, are they man made? Regardless, this is a great capture, love the composition and the clarity. Very well done my friend!
"'Life is not a journey to the grave with the
intention of arriving safely in a pretty
and well preserved body,
but rather to skid in broadside,
thoroughly used up,
totally worn out,
and loudly proclaiming,
"WOW! What a ride!"'
Lovely to see the bird flying. Those waterfalls are beautiful, like stairs, and it's funny how the ice has wrapped around branches like pieces of fabric. Excellent image John. :)
And I thought it was turning into the wind for a carrier landing. The foreground is stealing the scene. Those steps and all those different ice patterns are really great.
