William (Bill) Armstrong's photos with the keyword: rime frost

When ice fog settles overnight, rime frost forms on everything, creating a wonderful sparkly coating. As the sun rises and winds pick up the crystals begin to float away from objects such as tree limbs. Sometimes you can hear the crystals, which I suppose I could capture with video. I took this standing in the comfort of my back door.

Light winds and fog over two days allowed rime frost to accumulate on just about everything in the Regina area. This was taken at the edge of Wascana Lake, in the urban park within Regina, just after sunup. Don’t use this image on websites, blogs or other media without explicit permission.
