Great

Voted 10/10

That's a brilliant photo - but for people like me in foreign climes , can you explain the phenomenon? Is it a small tree that get's weighed down by accumulated ice?

	MountaingirlBC	Re: Great
	Hasn't voted	Here's the technical explanation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rime_ice Basically, yeah... there's a little tree under there. The wind was coming mostly from one direction (strongly!) and this caused the tree to be bent over as the snow & ice piled up on it. Eventually it tipped over enough that the circle was complete. Or... it could be two trees that ended up 'kissing.' For more rime pics from that trip visit: http://www.alpinescribes.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=88&page=2
