These are some really great pictures!
I guess I also didn't know that there were so many different names for ice.
most of the words we have in english describe snow rather than ice, but to me that it a lack of attention to detail, as it seems to me that there should be many more words for ice than exist - or perhaps I simply don't know them.
I love this post so hard. It is really fascinating to think about how words and language shape the way we see and organize the world. Fun research and a really great collection of ice pictures! Were you in an ice cave for the one with all the icicles?
thank you! I am so pleased that it resonated, as I have always been fascinated with language and culture :)
The icicle photo is one of a series I took almost five years ago during the Breckenridge Ice Sculpture Event. Most of those photos I consider "second rate". I took them with a cheap point and shoot and my editing was less than refined, so while they are interesting, they are still so so in quality.
You can see one of the actual ice sculpture entries, the carved dragons, 4 photos above the cave photo, and the frame above that is the outside of a man made ice-cave the Exhibition rendered with a ton of water.
I thought I had posted a number of those "ice cave" photos in various steemit posts, but i could only find a few. I might create an ice cave post for fun since those particular photos are really cool looking despite the quality.

I love icicles, they're so ethereal looking, loved all the textures and learned some new words :)
yay!!! i'm going to make a pseudo ice cave post from old photos...theyre fun.
