This photo is a personal favourite.. The ice-cave sof Antarctica are amazingly beautiful and alluring, yet incredibly dangerous. They shimmer with frigid, crystalline magic, daring you to sail on in to admire the interior decoration, yet the ice crystals could so easily become incisors in the jaws of destruction..
I took this picture on the steepest island of the world…La Palma (canarian islands). Although it’s the steepest island of the world it’s very rare that it’s snowy on top of the biggest vulcanic mountain. / It was a lucky week so I drove all the way up to the “Roche De Los Muchachos”>>> / (3000 metres high). Shortly before I reached the top a little cave caught my attention. / I went inside and discovered beautiful, thick icicles. The energy there was incredible….it felt pure….above the clouds…elements. check what the product looks like here thank you for stopping by!
This was like a natural doorway for those who might dare to blue ice paradise! / Maybe only penguins would understand. / ice berg alleys lure one with their blue pristine beauty, but there can be a price to pay for investigating their crystal chasms..
Image started as a portrait of my daughter. Used Photoshop’s chrome filter and layer blend mode effects to get ice effect. Flames from a log fire in Portugal, icicles on head from a Kodak Instamatic shot taken 25 years ago. Detail can be better seen in click to view larger! ... and for anyone who’s interested, this is the original picture… Ice Girl all thawed out as a teenager!

A photograph using pieces of nature for our props, the crown was made of twigs, feathers, moss and other things found in nature, everyone in our house has had their photo taken wearing this crown….including the dogs. We had to take a few warm up sessions for this shot…...burr It’s cold :)
Near my Hometown “Ybbs”, Austria!
The dark colors in this shot kept reminding me of Gotham City and how it always seemed dark and colorless there. Taken in the exact same place as Hanging By a Moment, a bush right outside my front door.

This photo achieved a highly commended status in the 2007 ANZANG: Nature and Landscape Photographer of the Year Award. Ironically the key factors in this photograph were all negative ones, bad weather, poor light, a pitiful ski season, and a less than ideal time to go. As a teacher I only have the opportunity to go ski touring in the school holidays which is either side of the best part of the ski season. Usually this means that I have to travel to the Main Range in NSW which is a fair hike from my home in Melbourne to get to any snow. I had spent the previous day skiing out from Thredbo to the ice covered Lake Albina and as this season had not been overly good the cover was quite patchy. The day I took this shot I had planned to ski up Australia’s second and eighth highest summits, Mt Townsend and Alice Rawson Peak but the weather had produced white out conditions on the heights so by default I ended up skiing below the cloud cover in Lady Northcote’s Canyon. Not too far from my camp I saw these icicles high up a cliff on the Gorge wall. Being alone and so far from assistance should anything go wrong I was in two minds as to whether I should attempt to get to them or not. On three occasions in the most difficult spots I reassessed this decision but the closer I got the better they looked so imprudence won out the day and fortunately nothing went wrong. I don’t know whether it was my presence or the icicles time had come, but after getting two frames off the whole structure collapsed, fortunately the shots came out well. The other element of serendipity was the poor light, in better conditions the icicles would have been dazzlingly bright mitigating any chance of capturing detail in their delicate structure. I have been back to this same spot on two occasions since then to try and recapture this scene with a tripod and better gear but the trips occurred in better conditions resulting in the entire slope having a good cover of snow and therefore no icicles. The fleeting nature of these sorts of scenes is one of the things I love about photography; you can literally eternalise unrepeatable scenes, be it icicles, a sunset or patterns in the sand, what a gift. Sold two framed 12”x18” of this a little beauty. For other shots from this area check out my Kosciuszko gallery.

Photograph of an icicle in the sun. It was a clear blue day and so with a little warmth and shadow, it came out pretty colorful….anyhoo :) I love the little angel thingy…what do you call it ? /

(Ἐρινύες-the angry ones) The Furies, in Greek Erinyes, or euphemistically Eumenides, were avenging spirits of retributive justice. Their names, when in course of time their number had come to be fixed as three, were Alecto, Megaera, and Tisiphone. Their task was to punish crimes not within the reach of human justice. - from Bulfinch’s Mythology They are not usually associated with winter although they have been known to cause violent snow-storms. Photo reference by Iardacil-stock / and cobweb-stock.
This untouched macro image of tiny icicles forming on a rosehip was taken with a Pentax K10D. The edges of the icicles had begun to melt in the afternoon sunshine but were soon to freeze up again, as the warmth of the sun hasn´t got a lot of strength here yet and frost was already rising when this shot was taken. / The fact that water can take on so many beautiful, fragile and delicate forms and can adorn whole landscapes, transforming them into works of natural magic, never ceases to amaze us. This is the main wondrous fact that makes our long, often very rainy and grey, winter bearable. Eifel region, January 2009, on a beautiful winter sunset. / As is, untouched work! / / /

Ahh, I shall truly miss the crisp, cold days, the brilliant sunlight through the shards of glass-like ice…. But, as the winter gives way to spring, all shall renew, and the many splendid moments of new life will be nice…
