  1. Am I still worried about global warming? Only if Al Gore keeps talking!

  2. These pictures don’t leave me shivering. How about some bikini babes on some of these ice mounds ?
    :)

  3. Happy and Warm New Year to ya!
    I don’t see much fire wood but at least you have plenty of water?
    Get AL Gore to come down and warm you up with his B>S>

  4. I will appreciate these photos in about 7 months when the weather is unbearably hot!

  5. Pretty cool!!!! Pun intended.

  6. These pix are absolutely incredible and amazing. God has provided such wonders all over our world. Thank you for taking such amazing photos.

  7. The ice cave shot at Loudwater is my favorite - full of mystery and dark beauty, with the hope of light to come in the background.

  8. I don’t know about the photos making me cold, but the pancake ice sure has made me hungry.

  9. Burrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

  10. On the first pic there is a roman numeral. I couldn’t read it past the Xll.
    What is the rest of it and what does it stand for?

    Thanks, Mee

    @Mee-Sorry I don’t see it and I have no idea what it would mean anyway. Just a pretty pic of snow is all I see. :)

  11. As to the XII mentioned in the first pic. I put a magnifying glass on it. It does look like some roman numerals. Look below center and to the right. Must be just the way the ice formed.

  12. Icy them, too! Snow what they mean?

  13. Great shots, but the world is warming, Gore notwithstanding, and these shots will one day be history.

  14. Great pictures in all of this blog!!!

    amazing work!!!

  15. I took pictures of the Ice cave in 2000. The ice cave has melted away. If there is any thing left of it, it’s just a channel of water now…
