B&W Photo Contest: Water Theme Entries - Ice Formations

Water is amazing. I love its strength, its energy in motion, its peace in stillness and its beauty in ice.

I took these pictures with my little Canon Ixus 860 compact camera a few years ago during a memorable cold spell. The ice formations were so beautiful - particularly with the water of the river still running alongside them.

It was so cold that water was crystalizing on every surface, creating endless patterns.

Thanks to @daveks for running this lovely contest, @papa-pepper for sponsoring and @timsaid for judging.
