STRIPED ICEBERGS – Amazing Photos

This is another great email fwd I got.
I wanted to re-post this but not before I did some tweaks to the pics.
It looked like many of them did not even have simple photo corrections made to them…PITY, considering the majestic creations that are captured here.

STRIPED ICEBERGS
Icebergs in the Antarctic area sometimes have stripes, formed by
layers of snow that react to different conditions.
Blue stripes are often created when a crevice in the ice sheet
fills up with melt water and freezes so quickly that no bubbles form.
When an iceberg falls into the sea, a layer of salty seawater can
freeze to the underside. If this is rich in algae, it can form a
green stripe.
Brown, black and yellow lines are caused by sediment, picked up
when the ice sheet grinds downhill towards the sea.
These pictures are available because 2008 has been the coldest winter
… Is this amazing??
Antarctica Frozen Wave Pixs – Nature is amazing!
The water froze the instant the wave broke through the ice.
That’s what it is like in Antarctica where it is the
coldest weather in decades.
Water freezes the instant it comes in contact with the air.
The temperature of the water is already some degrees below freezing.
Just look at how the wave froze in mid-air!!!
Aerial Photography – Downtown Austin Texas

It’s amazing how everything looks so tiny from above. I cannot recall if we were @ 1K feet or 2K, I think the latter.
The bridges to me look minuscule but they certainly don’t feel small when standing on them!
This one turned out really NICE in terms of capturing UT and downtown.
This one might be the best in terms of what the pilot & I had envisioned for capturing the church as dusk. Very tricky to get what we wanted though for a variety of reasons. I am not 100% satisfied with this but I think it was the best we could do considering the degree of difficulty involved.
This one really shows the park (Auditorium Shores) very well. I tdon’t think I’ve ever been to the end of it, I would like to check out the train tressel sometime for sure.
I think these next two are pretty tight (good shots IMO), not much I can see that I would have liked to have done differently.
