the ice man cometh

not my usual sort of thing, but i couldn't really ignore the ice storm, and one of my goals for 2014 is getting better at documenting stuff...

if you look real carefully at the middle frozen drop you will see our house refracted in it :)

we've been lucky - haven't lost power (TOUCH WOOD!)... but lots of folks have...

more from today on flickr if you're curious...

It sucks but it has made for some beautiful scenery :) Great way to start documenting things!

I love this side of you Northy.:) Great macro! Wonderful image.
December 22nd, 2013  
Great shot! Can just about make out a house in the central drop!
December 22nd, 2013  
Some amazingly photographic weather lately!
December 22nd, 2013  
Amazing ! I see your house !!

Great capture of ice -- I love the reflection in the frozen drops.

Looks like it hit Toronto before it hit Michigan.

I've storm! That sounds kind of cold and crazy, very creepy hand. Looks like ET froze

Beautiful

I can't make out the house but can see its well focused within the drop! Your title of course, puts a human element on to this photo!
December 23rd, 2013  
Wonderful focus and capture. Somewhat alien like too.
December 23rd, 2013  
Great shape! Nicely shot Northy! The sort of image I really admire. Fav. Melting ice?

We've lost soooo many trees. All the boulevard ones are going to have to come down and every 5 minutes it sounds like gunshots and you hear another crash! We haven't lost power either...but half of Oshawa is in the dark or has just got it back. I've never seen anything like it! Lovely drippity branch...stay safe!

I think this is so beautiful. While at my Dad's I took similar images, however, the SD card is corrupt and I can't seem to regain them.
December 23rd, 2013  
@3rdxoff tx AC - don't lose hope about the card... There are free programs on the net that can help you rescue them... I'll try to find the link to some info on this in the morning... (This happened to me last year - I was able to rescue pretty much everything)
December 23rd, 2013  
@3rdxoff I can't cut and paste the link on my iPhone for some reason, but if you go to my project on date November 25, 2012 there is a link to a thread where some wonderful 365-ers helped me when my card became corrupted...

@northy Thank you so much! I will give it a whirl... fingers crossed for a Christmas miracle! Happy Holidays!
December 23rd, 2013  
Looks like an old gnarly hand. Great shot. Hope you keep your power and stay warm
December 23rd, 2013  
Quite creepy, but beautifully captured.
December 23rd, 2013  
So pretty!! its great to document your life via the project!! Glad to hear you still have power, hope it stays that way!
December 23rd, 2013  
Looks like a hand. Cool
December 23rd, 2013  
Wow, that´s impressive, how cold is it at the moment?
December 23rd, 2013  
A wonderful shot, great light and clarity!!
December 23rd, 2013  
why haven't we called the army?!?! I have a pic of a tree on the hood of a truck, and a large branch hanging with a trough from the roof edge of a house. so kany mishaps. your shot looks scary, it's like a skeletal hand. that dffect would've been more enhanced if you'd done the usual bw.
December 23rd, 2013  
Great capture of the ice!
December 23rd, 2013  
@summerfield i know, right? but ford is busy saying it isn't an emergency - and thankfully that's the case... but he's such a loose canon i wouldn't go by anything he says! yeah, it looks like a hand, doesn't it... one of the ones on flickr looks to me like an alien foetus wrapped in a bubble... it creeps me out big time!
December 23rd, 2013  
You seem to have an alien's claw there.
December 23rd, 2013  
The results are amazing!
December 23rd, 2013  
Brrr. Looks VERY cold. Love how the ice is backlit.
December 23rd, 2013  
Aw come on! That's ET's claw like hand. Especially when viewed small. Fav.
December 23rd, 2013  
Great shot.
December 23rd, 2013  
Ice claw - amazing capture
December 23rd, 2013  
Great capture- good start for "documenting stuff"!

Wow, definitely worth a visit to the flickr page. Such great stuff! People are wearing flipflops down here.
December 27th, 2013  
I like how heavy the ice looks, given the way you've framed it.
December 28th, 2013  
Looks like a bizarre critters claw! Cool ;-)
December 29th, 2013  
I know the feeling. Stay warm!
December 30th, 2013
