A huge ice stalagmite made from tiny water drops
s I had a meeting in Bregenz today, I stopped at that huge stalagmite which grows from the dripping waters of a well somewhere up the hill. There's a pipe running over the street and usually the water drops down into a gully. In winter, things are quite different.
As we had no sun and just some fog, I just shot the thing as a whole. Or as much as fitted my 20 mm lens -- but the top isn't that interesting at all, so I cropped it. There is a stream of water running inside this ice monster, forming quite nice mushroom-like ice blobs. On Thursday I'll pass this area once more and if lighting permits I hope to come up with some great finishing shots for this challenge… And yes, it is huge as you will see from scrolling down…

Thanks to Andromeda 5000 for providing the raw list. It didn't appear to be a challenge at first, but believe me, it is -- if you have a life, too, as the number of drop-outs will tell you. All the fine work of those I stroke through in this list is still available at the contest page and I sure hope you'll visit it.

That's an amazing thing! Incredible.
Wow, this is a simply huge piece of ice! I guess these sorts of things melt really quickly once the weather heats up. Fabulous find and a great job shooting it. Love the off-centre placement of the main subject.
Gob-smacking amazing...Mother Nature sure does come up with some wacky stuff. It makes one fantastic photograph.
