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!!!

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.

These are slight variations on the same scene but I just liked them too much to pick and chose, I just chose them all!
I was just loving this particular scene, I hope you can see why!
This one was quite unique and I left it muted to highlight the sun just BLAZING the section of tree on the left. It was one of only a handful of times there was direct sunlight that morning. The one I really wanted I missed, it was on the opposite side of the road (where the fog it) but man, it was a wild sight.
