lol-- this is ice that is formed upwards and I remembered recent thread but not what called, they have a name, they were formed in open air along a river but on the rocks along the river. They were very cool... no pun intended : ) oops posted one twice i see sorry, and left out one, the others are just ice formed but in perfect geometric shapes, like this..
Several of the images look like the ice stalagmites I shot in an abandoned mine. The interior temp of the mine is very constant, so when the weather is just right, the heat from the mine melts snow just outside the mine, which trickles down into the mouth of the shaft and drips. Onto the cold granite floor, which is cool enough to freeze the drops, which build up to a kind of stalagmite.
Oddly enough, there are NO icicles hanging down - the heat from the mineshaft rises, so all we get are slow drips of water.
alright, we can all stop pussy-footing around what REALLY caused this bizarre phenomenon - magic.. or aliens.. and i'm not too comfortable thinking there are magic users or aliens sharing the planet with me. bush should really do something about that.
