It’s a melting clock.

Okay. So yesterday was a magical walk down the old river day. Eagles, Herons and a herd of Elk. But really what was pretty spectacular at times was the trees with snow and ice.

There was freezing rain two nights prior. I had to scrape two inches of ice off the roof of my van. The next day stayed below freezing with another dust of snow. When I arrived at my spot, the branches both had melting snow with ice wrapped around the branches. Making this soft and specular light glow and bounce off the branches.

Editing I was blow away in black and white. The two seeming different light sources (glowing one direction, glistening from the other, flipping back and forth among the branches was this Dada-Surrealist solarization I can’t describe.

Accidentally making this image that makes me think of Man Rays experimental photography made me really love what I saw in some of these. I’m going to edit the frame right after the above into black and white tomorrow. I might get a test print of it made. I’m hoping to be offering some prints up for sale soon and I’d love to have the surreal feeling eagle flight melting on my wall.
