Pond Ice, Sherborne, UK

A fascinating discovery: pond ice 1/2-1" thick, cracked with the heel of my shoe, reveals nice (polarised?) light patterns in the fault lines

Ushguli, Svaneti, Georgia


From my discovery of the Enguri as it began to freeze:

Ice from both sides of the river gradually making its way towards contact, at which point the flow is frozen over

Details of ice and water flow mixing

A "footprint" frosted over on the river bank

Happy New Year!

The photos are from Ushguli, Svaneti, from a few weeks ago; Lali & I spent the New Year with her parents in Kakheti, in the east. Oh well, so photos & writing don't match so far, whatever. We had a great time - arrived on clean roads, left 3 days later in a lot of snow, driving carefully to get home to Tbilisi safely. We passed several vehicles whose owners hadn't been so slow on the road; and saw a near-crash of a 4x4 which had just passed us half a minute before, fishtailed, got itself into a 360-degree-spin and just about met an oncoming car. Never a dull moment!

The photos - a huge piece of ice from the always-running outdoor faucet; details, held up by Anzor, and another piece of ice used as a crown by Princess Lana.
