Photo closeup of rime ice that formed on a lichen-covered boulder. The ice is shaped like the point of a sharp pencil. There are many closely spaced points, all aimed in the same direction. The lichen is dark green. I took this photo on the summit of Little Haystack Mountain, White Mountains, New Hampshire.

Beauty was abound when I snowshoed up a mountain earlier this week. While the views at the summit of nearby mountain peaks/valleys were beautiful, so were the small features at my feet. Check out the rime ice that formed on the boulders. This ice forms in windy fog and points into the wind as it is forming. #ice #mountains #lichen
