Hi there my Hivean friends and followers!
Finally, after weeks of bad weather, we have been enjoying some sunshine too here in the Czech Republic. The temperatures, however, are still freezing and this unique combination of sun and coldness creates some beautiful frosty artworks out there in nature.
A couple of days ago, I headed out to the Prokop Valley, one of my favorite natural places here in Prague, Czech Republic to capture some of this frozen beauty for you. The most interesting ice formations can be naturally found on and in the water so I picked the Prokop Creek as the location for my photo shooting. The creek is actually pretty little and narrow but still big enough for Mother Nature to conjure up some impressive creations on it so let´s take a look at some of the pictures that I took there :)
I hope you liked the shots. You better do guys because I almost fell in the water several times as I was taking the photos while balancing on the super slippery frozen stones and banks of the creek :D But yeah, it was fun even though the passing by hikers had no clue what I was doing, especially with the low angle shots that had me crouching in some very weird positions :D
The shooting must have been even more challenging for my old phone camera. It doesn´t support the long exposure feature that would surely make the photos look better and the strong contrast between the objects lit up by the low winter sun and the shades was sometimes a bit too much for the phone to handle too but other than that, I´m pretty satisfied with the results.
The weather forecast says we are about to experience some big changes in the next few days with the temperatures climbing up to as high as 10 C (50 F) soon so this might well be the last frosty post of this winter from me. Would be perfectly fine with me though as I cannot wait to welcome the spring here :)
