In January 2019, the Pacific Northwest experienced a rare lowland snowstorm followed by a deep freeze which rendered the normally green and flowing region a beautiful landscape of feathered snow and crystalline ice formations.
I was compelled to take a number of trips to Snoqualmie Falls, the most iconic waterfall in the greater Seattle area. While much of my photography focused on the grand effect of the extended freeze on the massive waterfall, I too was captivated by the finer forms of the frozen surfaces at the river's edges.
The closer I looked, the more detail I found, and armed with a macro lens and some patience, I took to documenting the fine lines, geometric seams, aerated bubbles and long fissure lines of these very temporary ice sculptures.
