A couple of shots of some ice formations I saw yesterday when out for a walk

This is hair ice

Hair Ice

Hair ice is a rare type of ice formation where the presence of a particular fungus in rotting wood produces thin strands of ice which resemble hair or candy floss.

My new(ish) lab on the headland of our local beach recently. I have watched dolphins leap from this spot before. Off to the right of the photo are the snow covered mountains of Ross.
