Frost on Window #61: Order Code ND-18d
Date: 11 December 2003
Locale: Pedestrian bridge over Mississippi River, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN
Photographer:  Kendall W. Corbin
Comments: Take a cup of water and pour it into an ice tray, freeze it, and you'll get ice cubes every time. Uniformity and monotony are the results. But take the same water, let it first evaporate, then condense, and finaly freeze slowly onto a pane of glass. Voila! The magic of Jack Frost appears with untold numbers of ice crystal shapes. The colder, north-facing side of the Washington Avenue bridge is one place where that magic takes place every winter.
