Icy sunsets

 I have to admit that when I heard we were likely to get an ice storm, my first selfish thought was 'I might get some nice photos'. After experiencing the two days with no power I doubt that will be my first thought next time, but there certainly have been some good photo opportunities after the storm. Sunset is a particularly atmospheric time of day. I took this photo on Christmas Eve. Someone on Twitter described it as 'awesome landscape porn'. ;-)

And I took this one this evening. The ice has melted a bit today, with slightly warmer temperatures and the sun shining all afternoon.
