Huge icicles, the longest about 2 metres, formed by the runoff down the cliff face.

Very cool Ice formations.

They looked more impressive in reality than I've managed to capture in the image,

The tips of the lowest ones were about a metre above head height.

Those look like some serious icecicles.

Impressive shot - nice one

I didn't want to get too close - there was a shattered one on the path.

Thanks mate.  A couple of lovely days to get out and admire the scenery.  Clouding in again now.

I saw a murder mystery where someone was killed with a falling Icecicle and the evidence was gone when it melted.

Haha. Good one.  That reminds me of a Roald Dahl murder mystery in Tales of the Unexpected.
A wife bashed her husband's head in with a leg of frozen lamb, then cooked it and fed it to the investigating detectives, destroying the evidence

That's good too. Ironic.

Fantastic find and capture Mr. B.    Mother Nature can be so creative when she desires to be.

Thanks. Quite unexpected, as I rounded a corner on the way up the hill.

Looking at that Blériot youve set the bar pretty high for yourself this year.

I haven't been able to get down there recently - and the trail is closed due to the risk of falling icicles.  I expect it will be open again now the thaw has come.

Wow, lovely!

When I just looked it up they were in the tunnel, and looked amazing.   And Im pretty sure we saw that tunnel on Bills walking show.

Yes I'm sure it was the same one, too.

Such a perfect shot! You’ve captured nature in its most harmonious state.

Have you not walked that route?
