Once again, we had another big freeze in the weather forecast for this weekend. This afternoon, I headed up to Foxton to make some images of the ice that forms during the winter months. With all the big freeze weather that we have been getting this year, this makes it fun to photograph the ice that forms in the South Platte River.
During a cold winter, ice bridges form across the whole river, with water flowing under the ice. In places, the water cuts through forming ice canyons. We even have a Horseshoe Bend!
I explored a few locations along the river, looking for ice canyons.
In the Desert South-West, we find many different canyon types, even a box canyon. The ice canyons are no different…
There are occasional ice caves to be found as well!
There are a variety of ice canyons to be found.
Finally, a slot canyon to be found!
Heading back home, I drove through a snow storm and below freezing temperatures.
