I don't know what freak weather conditions produced this effect but I was glad I had decided not to leave my camera at home on this walk I had taken umpteen times. The posting for the 12th was of a flooding road and ditch and in the night it had been colder, down to freezing temperatures again, but with a brisk wind. I thought that the flood water would have completely dried up and as I got near that location again I saw that I was right. My walking companion decided to cross the road to see what had happened to the water and exclaimed in delight. It had, indeed, evaporated. But above the ditch there had formed a thin skin of jagged ice that sat, suspended in the air by the edges that clung to the two sides of it. The ice was so thin it could have been a covering of cellophane. I took several photographs of this strange and beautiful phenomenon but, really, it had to be seen to be fully appreciated. Nothing remains of it today.

You are so right +Joyce Fay – I have never seen the likes of it before.
Yes, the patterns were just gorgeous, but so fleeting, now gone. A real Andy Goldsworthy work of art! Andy Goldsworthy – environmental artist is a clip to show you some of his environmental (and temporary) art.
Thanks +Janet Patterson pure serendipity. And having the camera with me.

Super fractal artwork made by mother nature.. and captured fantastically by you +Ellie Kennard
Looks wonderful!
The freak weather looks like it was a flash freeze +Ellie Kennard , that produced this lovely lacy effect, transparent enough to allow the bronze branches to glow through. Great find.
Oh Wow, that's a beautiful ice lace!! Incredible how the ice has spun it and made such lovely patterns!!
I think this one has the wow factor, I certainly wish I could have seen it. I think it could be a once in a lifetime thing.
Your very welcome +Ellie Kennard
