“Formation”

 
© 2013 Thousand Word Images by Dustin Abbott

The deep cold of winter begins a transformation of the river into something altogether different. My community was once a major lumber provider, and when the deep freeze had set in, logging trucks used to drive a kilometer or so ACROSS the surface of the river between the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. The forming ice is often hidden by a layer of snow, but unique conditions this year have added some transparency to the process. I was out on the ice to capture this photo.
