Weekly Photo Challenge: Illumination

January 11, 2013 by

A few weekends ago, blessed with snow that is no longer guaranteed — despite our latitude — we built a snow fort in our yard.  Cue Barenaked Ladies.

I grabbed an icicle that had dropped from our eavestrough and planted it on top.

An obelisk of ice, our salute to the returning sun.

    I like the contrasting idea of the ice and the sun. :)

    Is that a giant icicle or it just looks like it?
