Day 207: Roadside Ice Sculpture


I've added a new photograph to Creative Journey in my Photography section: Ice Swan

I went for a walk at dusk tonight. The main part of the streets in the neighborhood are cleared of snow and ice now, but at the edges of the street and curb, there are odd, melting ice formations that look like sculptures.

This is an actual image of one of those sculptures. I played with it a bit in my paint program, outlining the shape that looked like a swan and colorizing it, then placing it back into the original photo. I thought it was so interesting that the dirt spatters gave the illusion of an eye, a beak, feathers.
