A little 'off-season' look at the river

Report

Account Just thought some of you might enjoy a different appreciation of this stretch of the river. A couple years back, I happened to take a walk there in winter, after enough cold weather that most of the river had frozen over. There were only a few places which remained open. This particular day, these locations were filled with the most amazing ice crystals. A day or two later, the river was frozen the rest of the way, and snows covered the gaps. Once again, nature's art was quite ephemeral . . . often just a couple hours (or a couple days) difference and you've missed the chance to see something amazing. Hope you enjoy.
