This is the same home from a couple days ago except I am downstream looking back. I prefer this angle but both offer decent views! This ice was a couple solid inches and it was maybe 18 inches deep if I were to break through. I placed my tripod and walked around looking for the best reflection and settled on this. I walked all around the ice with no mishaps UNTIL I was on my last two steps to get onto the snow and failed to notice the ice curved upward at the edge and just like that my foot shot out under me and my knee went straight down on the ice before I knew what happened. I laid there in the snow for a few minutes until I finally tried to see if I could walk. One good thing is I had my phone on me which my family knows is something I do not place high value on. Usually its in my Jeep, or muted in my pocket and I see messages days later sometimes. Remember when phones had cords and we were actually free.

That sounds like quite an experience! Glad you made it through without too much trouble. Searching for the perfect angle and reflection is definitely worth it, but slippery ice can be tricky. Hopefully, your knee is okay, and you were still able to enjoy the view. And yes, those days of corded phones – sometimes that did seem a lot simpler but more dangerous without one.
There is always pluses and minuses I guess.
That’s a wonderful setting and angle!! YES corded phones equaled freedom indeed!! Thanks for sharing your adventures.
Thank goodness for extreme temps to freeze the creek!
Ouch.
