An Icy Charles *E#3

    When I went out for my Monday Evening Walk, the Charles River in Boston was mostly ice. It was an interesting sight for such a large river to be icy, but it was also really cool

    This shot was taken from the river walkway in front of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology

    A special thanks goes out to the ducks for not moving over the course of the 3 exposures

      Another great one from that night! I love the reflections

      Thanks everyone! I like this one because you're able to see the ice very well on the Charles. According to Google Maps, the Charles is about 4/10 of a mile across at this part. The Hancock Tower (building to the left) is approximately 9/10 of a mile away

      Superb view Craig! The "C" composition is always an attention grabber!!!
      Wonderful colors... very glamorous if I might say so... awesome reflections and the cute ducks are a little eye catcher as well!

      You never cease to amaze me with your pictures. This is fantastic! (Although I have to admit I'm hiding it from my mom so we won't have yet another picture of ducks around the house ;))
