Frozen in Time...


Fitzgeralds, in Almonte, is a rather interesting structure on it's own. It has 5 sides, rather than the traditional 4. It's on the main street in Almonte, right near the falls at the hydro generating station. The falls are a place of fascination for me, they provide so many amazing views, any time of year. This building gets loaded down with spray frost in winter on the water side and looks unbelieveable, every balcony edge, every surface, loaded w heavy 'frost'.
This, however, is on the 'away from the water' side. It is a close up of part of the grape vines that grow on the building. From the downspout rigging above and around it, the vines are heavily laden with ice, almost as if freezing rain had had it's way with them.
These are at eye level and were really easy to get the shot, although it was hard to decide from which way to shoot and what was the 'best' pic for this inspiration.
Oh well, enjoy!
