ThePhotoGuy Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 At the last minute, I looked out and saw this amazing sky! I rushed to a local sunset viewing spot to take pictures. Photo straight out of the camera except for cropping and watermark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I walked out on the ice yesterday. Awesome, and safe as can be...as evidenced by the ice boats. A thin coating of snow from Saturday gave traction and made it easy walking too...except near the shore, where I almost fell on my arse a couple times. Sweet! When was the last winter you were able to walk on the ice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Smokin pics guys and gal. Iceboats are so cool. They can do 50-60mph in 25mph wind. It's actually safer to be in an ice boat than walking. The triangle of the 3 blades distributes weight over a much larger surface area of ice. But I can tell that ice is totally safe from the pics. Good job Kay! Ian is a sissie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avdave Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 My boyyyy liked playing around in the snow yesterday..... Nice pic of the German Shepard. Very cool Earlier today got these pics of a great blue heron, just standing in the yard in the sun. Unusual behavior...I wonder if they're hungry. Pics not too good, shot through a door so as not to scare away. Love Blue Herons. Where I grew up in NJ, there was a nesting grounds not to far away and every year more and more Blue Herons would be around. Even had a resident one at our pond on our property, ate all the fish out of the pond One from last night: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ianlivingston/12154344326/ Thats a sweet photo Ian. One of your best. Nice work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kay Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Thank you for the compliments. I'm enjoying the pics...and the sunset last night was amaaaazing. Sweet! When was the last winter you were able to walk on the ice? I'm uncertain, did not record stuff until more recently. But I want to say winter 2003-2004? Seems right and there was cold. Edit: there has been ice in other years, but that year seemed more epic, like now...anyway was the only other time I tried. Smokin pics guys and gal. Iceboats are so cool. They can do 50-60mph in 25mph wind. It's actually safer to be in an ice boat than walking. The triangle of the 3 blades distributes weight over a much larger surface area of ice.

Ian is a sissie That is a very good and logical point you make about weight distribution, and I'm glad it didn't occur to me as I struck out there. But seriously yeah, it was totally secure.

ThePhotoGuy Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Significant ice buildup on the Chesapeake Bay near Gibson Island. Awesome to see all the ice and snow on the Bay! At 21 years old, I don't ever remember seeing it this much on the bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nw baltimore wx Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Spent the weekend camping and a few of us did the Tuscarora trail yesterday. The guys fishing told us the ice is 8 - 11" thick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nw baltimore wx Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Wow gorgeous photo C.A.P.E. Great colors Nice, looks like a great place to camp. Where about was this at? The lake is in Cowan's State Park which seems like quite the spot for the locals. Ice fishing and skating in the winter, and boating and swimming in the summer. We stayed in the PATC cabin (Silberman cabin) about 4 or 5 miles north. It's the first time I've been to that cabin and it's great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Great pic MRWx. I would like to drive an icebreaker. That would be such a cool job. Bay got hit hard with ice this year compared to many recent ones. We can still do cold every once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
