w7xman Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 This weekend I got up early on both Saturday and Monday to explore a world at -10F. It's always neat to see how the atmosphere and landscape responds to real frigid cold, and I was not disappointed. From my sunrise vantage high on a hill above Conway, I saw some fog down over Eaton, NH. Hoping it was ice fog, I raced down there and found myself in a magical world of diamond dust. If you've never seen this stuff, you are missing out on one of the most amazing displays in nature...the whole world sparkles around you. There were sundogs and sunpillars, and a heavy layer of hoar frost on all the trees. Sunrise from Conway...notice the icefog over the lake...

stemwinder Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Wow. Nice photos, all of them. Is that Mt Washington in the first one? I can't access the bigger versions. Flickr says it's private to me. I did set up an account as appledust36. Thx - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
