Hmm, very cool ice ... I think it is growing ?!?

Don't see icicles like that very often. I like it. :thumbup:

I really like them both, but I think that the first one is my favourite.

They are weird icicles for sure. How come they have that shape? Very nice as always!

I like the first shot much more than the second. I wish that just a little bit more would be in good sharp focus though...I am craving more information about those unusual icicles.

Very cool shots, Ron. I like the first one. It almost looks like a creepy hand or claw.

#1 was shot nearly into the sun, it actually was out for a while yesterday. I kept the DOF short to give the shot an eerie feeling.

#2 was shot in the opposite direction with the sun behind me to the left.

The icicles were once perpendicular but as the snow curled down off the roof they became horizontal & then started to go vertical as they grew. You can see them in this longer shot in context.

Looks like 18 below makes for good shooting. But you won't catch me out there in my slippers.

wow that is weird how the snow has curled too!

i guess it looks like that from the storm last week. Last night here in Hamilton it was freezing, must have been -25c at least, dont know how it was for you guys in Toronto
