Ice Chandelier, Quehanna Wild Area, Pennsylvania
This photo is available as:
- a Stock Image
This photograph is of a row of icicles formed by the spray from the water below the stick that fell across it, suspended by boulders on the banks. It was on a small mountain brook in the Quehanna Wild Area in northwest Pennsylvania, in that area of the state known as "The Pennsylvania Wilds".
Winter is a great time for black and white photography in the north. The absence of colorful foliage and flowers, as well as the ability to see much further than when the leaves are out, strips the landscape to its most essential. Snow and ice brighten and decorate shapes and forms large and small. Otherwise drab landscapes come alive, revealing detail previously unnoticed.
This image was made in 1992 on 4x5 inch black and white film.
Photo location: Red Run area, Quehanna Wild Area, Cameron and Elk Counties, Pennsylvania.
