No Jim, I didn't mind at all that you tinkered with my image.

Well it was a best guess. I hope you don't mind my tinkering.

The conditions have to be just right to have the frost crystals grow. It needs to be very cold and still. Any wind and they are immediately crumbled. Trying to photograph them can be frustrating, as when you get close to them, convection from your own body heat causes a bit of wind, and they move. Jim, it's an early morning photo, so the color isn't pure white.

Interesting to see that such a large flake of frost forms on the snow like that. Outdoors I've only seen them around the edges of some animal burrow or at the water's edge, places darned near impossible to shoot them. We do get some lovely patterns on the windows, I'm still trying to get some good macro shots of them.

This is one of those natural patterns I must try and capture. From time to time we get these sort of patterns on our car windows early on cold winter mornings, but I'm always off to work at the time without my camera or time.
Like Jim I remember (in the days when we didn't have any central heating in our house) that it was ot uncommon to see these crystals on the INSIDE! of the windows. It brings back all sorts of childhood winter memories.
Funny how something so simple can jog the mind in such a way.
Thanks for sharing.
Neil

Very cool shot. I remember seeing these formations on our windows from time to time growing up. This brings back good memories. One thing that really stands out to me with this image is the red tone to the entire image. I've uploaded my best guess color corrected version (with half the original to show the difference). Snow and ice photos are very challenging to correct. I gave it my best shot. Let me know if I'm off base on this. I can't imagine the ice was red in color originally, but perhaps that is the influence of lighting near where you were. Also seeing your photo reminds me I owe you an email.
