Description
On our road to Axalp we find these icicles. Remarkable, Swiss icicles looklike French icicles! :)
If there are ice-fairies I think they use these icy steps as stairs to climb the icicles. There's absolutely no sun here, maybe in summer only, but this steep precipice is exposed to the north. Brrrr. Time to get back into the car and find the sun shining up there!

marvelous picture! the only place around here to find a view like this is in my freezer. so much sunshine and warm weather, a little ice would be nice. (but just a little) :-)

That's just magical! Your description fires the imagination even further, but the beauty of this photo speaks for itself in any case.

I am very glad that our (Swiss) icicles are like their (French) icicles but how are they different from Dutch icicles? are ours colder? lol

Wow!!!! Looky here!!! This photo is magical!!! Yes, it does look like fairy-icicles!!!! and i think those must be steps to heaven!!! you know it's funny, but this kind reminds me of a frozen waterfall, except part of this doesn't look frozen. i'm seeing mist or something here. or maybe it's my bad eyes from residual migraine pain??? LOL! it really does look like you've captured motion here!!! anyway, i love this a lot...this stairway to heaven!!!! beautiful capture, jan-carel!

The abstract qualities of this image are great. May I suggest a true B&W as you will achieve a different kind of feel and one that may surprise you! Give it a try, deep rich black and white highlights. V

I always thought Swiss icicles were different than French icicles...ha ha ha ha ha. I just visited a cave nearby recently and the formations look just like these, but they're permanent. Very beautiful!
