[Assam] Steel and Ice

[Chan Mahanta]

It has been gloomy here in St. Louis for almost a whole week. 
Temperatures have been hovering around from just below freezing to 
just above; with occasional drizzle, some rain ,some freezing rain 
and some snow.

While driving home past a farm in the neighborhood, I caught a 
glimpse of shiny icicles on the barbed wire fencing, some beginning 
to come apart from a thaw and others still firmly clinging to the 
steel. Evening was fast approaching.  I kept thinking if I should go 
get my camera after arriving home and return for a shot. It was cold 
and grey. After a few moments of soul-searching :-), I decided to go 
back and see if there is a photo to shoot.

Here is one. The green on the lower part of the image is from winter 
wheat sprouts clinging to the ground for warmth, the fuzzy brownish 
middle tones just above from distant, leafless trees with the grey of 
the sky above the steel dominating the background.

You decide if it was worth the effort.
