Natural landscapes: When ice & water collide
ICE ON DUFFINS CREEK, GREENWOOD CONSERVATION AREA, AJAX, ONTARIO
One of my favourite activities in early winter is to head out to streams that have log jams. They are normally quite ugly, but when temperatures first turn cold and the streams haven’t iced over, magical scenes like this can be found. This is a very loong exposure, which turned the water silky and made it complement, rather than compete, with the ice.
Greenwood is a quiet gem of an area east of Toronto, Canada’s largest city. When my wife and I are in the area, we like to go there to walk and pray. Nikon D50, tripod, polarizing filter.

Thanks, pal! It’s definitely a God thing, to create a little spot of stunning beauty in the midst of an ugly log jam. 🙂
Beautiful. I love images of ice on trees. There is something euphoric about them, I think it is that they remind me of the storm, and the warmth of home. Robyn
