today i am part of an instagram loop for "around the world." i love the town we live in, for the conveniences and access to everything. it's a great place to raise a family.

it's not, however, a very "pretty" town. but we have a fantastic trail 45 mile that cuts through and it is part of my daily halley walk, so thought it would be the only proper photo for this loop.

Editing some of the older photos taken in 2010-2011, I came upon this one. I am certain that some of the forum members who live in places where it gets very cold would figure what the subject in the photo is, but I will describe it nevertheless: The Nordic ice goddess, Skadi, created this work of art on a window pane at a cabin I was working at a few years ago. Used a Canon 7D and the EF 100mm Macro.

I remember that sort of floral frost on the inside of my grandmother's windows whenever I stayed there in winter, and I was fascinated by it. The prevalence of double glazing in houses have mostly stopped this happening now, although I've seen it in our wooden work room that has no heating.

My grandparents lived in an area known as the Weald of Kent in England, where there was a particular dip in the landscape and frosts were always more fierce than anywhere else around.

I had never experienced so much detail on ice forming on glass until I worked at that cabin. The usual ice formations I had seen before had been "sort of" star-shaped and small in size. I had to edit the photo (above): increase contrast and brightness, increase the detail and highlights of the ice, and reduce the amount of dark bluish gray in the background.
