Description
On very cold and clear nights when the temperature is far below freezing, ice crystals can begin to form on the surface of other things, including ice itself. That's what happened on the night before this photograph of the edge of a frozen stream with snow reaching its edge.
The delicate frond-like ice crystals on the frozen surface of the stream grew in the cold clear air as water vapor turned directly to ice. The sharp edge of the snow bank's shadow on the frozen stream creates a "yin yang" transition between the snow above and the ice below.
