Photo Friday - 21NOV03 - Gatherings

Herd of Elk gathering in the cold. Taken about a 1/2 hour drive from where I live on a day when the trees were covered with hoar frost, an extremely thick frost that looks like it is almost dripping off the branches. The temperature is about -20°C. An ironically beautiful challenge to survival.

tyd - this is awesome. Where exactly do you live?
weirdweetabix - gorgeous!
Bob Wagner (no link) - This is a great shot. The contract in colors really make the focus of the photograph stand out.
Miss A - Beautiful!

Pennie (no link) - awesome

Dave Grainger (no link) - I recently took a photo in Idaho of this unusual "horror frost". Any information on what causes this type of frost ? I will send you a photo if you like, as I live on the Payette River.
spunwithtears - Thanks for your comment Dave. I did a bit of research and it looks like I initially misspelt the name for hoar (horror) frost. Apparently there are at least two types of frost: rime and hoar. Rime frost forms quickly but hoar frost grows slowly and coats the trees and other things in long fur-like ice crystals.
