Frozen Stream Ice Crystals Macro Kiruna

by Noah Zimmerman

Rigid hexagonal ice crystals dominate the frame, their sharp edges catching a beam of cool window light. The frozen stream fragments rest atop rough, grey-green lichen clinging to dark bark. Sidelight illuminates the translucent blue-white interiors of the columns, revealing internal fractures and smooth, glass-like surfaces. Deep shadows nestle in the crevices between the bark and the lichen, showing the texture of the organic substrate against the geometric precision of the ice. The light angle suggests a late morning source, casting long, distinct highlights across the crystalline structures. A faint reflection of the window frame glimmers on the wettest edge of a central ice shard.
