Icicles in the Sunset by taffy

Icicles in the Sunset

The sky was amazing tonight after the days of gray skies and snow covered ground. So, while not wise, I put on my heaviest boots and climbed the snow-filled stairs to the rooftop, carefully holding both railings so I wouldn't fall. It was worth it -- I have sky shots to use over the week if I need a dose of color with more storms coming in tomorrow. These icicles were hanging from our satellite dish, sort of framing the setting sun.

I took a picture right then, too! No icicles on our balcony though. I thought it was going to develop to be as great as last night's sunset, but nope. It was still lovely, and your icicle framing was a great idea.
February 4th, 2014  
Beautiful! Such lovely shallow depth of field of the icicle against the orange sunset!

The way the icicles pick up the warm colors from the sunset is amazing. The satellite silhouette adds to the image rather than distracts. fav
February 4th, 2014  
Gorgeous!!!
February 4th, 2014  
Gorgeous light and really like how it bounces around inside the icicle!
February 4th, 2014  
OK this is a strange thing to notice, but I thought you might enjoy knowing. On the main screen of the program Alexis made to keep track of popular page pics there is a search box and several other pieces of information...one being the person with the most popular pics since the inception of the program. It has been Kat from the beginning, but that beautiful icicle pic of yours just put you in the lead! Check it out...

Congratulations!! :)

@luvmynynix Oh gosh! That is really something I'd never have expected! So weird as to me it feels like so many others are on it quite often and I wouldn't see myself in their league. Thanks for pointing it out. I'm sure it won't last long, but it's exciting to think that my photos have been so well received. I didn't know Alexis was tracking this until you pointed it out, though I did know he had that link for us (I'd never read the print!). 365 has been such a supportive and encouraging place -- here's one more example!!
February 5th, 2014  
Congrats on the PP!! Gorgeous shot!
February 5th, 2014

How lovely this is, the perfect DoF and sunset colours and then the wonderfully in focus icicles glinting in the light, a great shot. All we have is high winds and rain, definitely nothing worth photographing!
