The setting sun illuminates the mountains in the distance.
Today's trivia. As you know water freezes at 32° F or 0° C. Sea water is saltier, thus denser and so it freezes at approx 28.4° F or -2° C. The Great Salt Lake is quite a bit saltier than the ocean so it would have to be even colder. Just in case you ever need this info when impressing friends at a party or if you're asked on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?".
Below is the same ice formation as at the top, but I photographed it from above so you could see the shape from that angle. Try clicking to embiggen and see if you like it even better.

Angle makes a big difference...
It is amazing how delicate the ice can look to be, when it really is otherwise. Great photos Scott.
You have managed to turn something that I have been cursing at, slipping on, and ruining my roof, into something spectacular. That's why I love your photos, your perspective and creativity is always astounding. Love this photos (and the rest of your work).
Oh YES! Way KOOL, Scott! You must have done quite a happy dance when you came upon this scene! Beautiful work!
I like both perspectives; however, my favorite is the photograph snapped low to the ground.
What a nice photo!
Just beautiful with the pink ribbon of light behind it.
Hi Scott, ice formations become works of art in your photos.
