Photo closeup of rime ice that formed on a lichen-covered boulder. As with the upper left photo, many sharp points of ice closely spaced and pointing in the same direction, but now growing out of a fan-shaped section of ice. View of neighboring mountain peaks off in the distance, somewhat blurred. Same location as upper left photo, different boulder.

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
