where nature and the city meet

Pancake ice marches to the skyline on a winter afternoon. Winter is my favorite season, I love the constantly changing conditions, snow and ice transform the city then disappear only to come again in a new form. The shapes and varieties of pancake ice are endlessly fascinating and I try to capture it as often as I can.
