All the entries are beautiful images of nature and the natural people who enjoy them. Th art in the ice is amazing.....my mind refuses to accept that there are not numerous pictures inscribed in that ice....animals, leaves, trees, people, all fade in and out of sight as I stare into the depths of the stream.

We couldn't agree more, Dave. The patterns formed by the ice are absolutely fascinating!
