This print, framed in a natural barn wood frame with an antique white stain finish created by the photographer, is truly unique and one-of-a-kind. An additional image shows the framed print hung on a wall with other furniture, to give a sense of size and scale of the finished artwork. Available also as a print only without frame, in three optional sizes and materials.
On a morning in late December, I took a drive out toward Niagara Springs Wildlife Management Area south of Wendell Idaho. It was well below freezing, and as I drove along River Road next to the Snake River, I could see steam fog rising from the water all along the river. I stopped along the roadway at a few pullouts to get some photos and then drove on across the bridge to the wildlife reserve for more photos. As I was getting ready to head home, I crossed the bridge once again, and along the roadway I noticed that everything had a thick frost on it from the fog freezing. I didn’t know at the time what this was called, but after doing a little research I discovered that it is called rime ice. It was beautiful, and I stopped for over an hour to take pictures of the fences, trees, and fields covered with thick rime ice. The ice crystals stuck out from the tree branches as much as half an inch, creating a magnificent winter wonderland scene! In this image, the Clear Lakes Country Club house is visible on a hill in the distance, and the rime ice had frosted the trees and fence lines, and even the powerlines. For some reason it didn’t really stick to the evergreen trees, so there is quite a contrast between the green of the pines, and the icy surroundings.
