This picture breathes "nuclear winter".

Not exactly this picture, but one of mine made it into the Estonian newspaper EPL.

I live down-under from you ;-) – in Australia; believe it or not - it was in our TV news about this amazing ice storm in Estonia. So, I though I look in Flickr for some photos. Searching “Estonia Ice” I found your photos!
Really impressive. Thanks for sharing the photos, Carl-Johan.
Bye the way, it was snow in Tasmania (Mt Wellington) yesterday, and it is summer! In Brisbane we had +40C at the same time.

I forget to ask: why the ice is “urine” colour? The wind blew water from the waterfall?
Have a look at photo taken Nov. 2006 - www.flickr.com/photos/andrese/289807100/
Is it nearby place?

Hehe, thanks for your comment, sorry I didn't see it earlier!

I was in the area and the one to get my pictures published in the EPL newspaper (my girlfriend works as editor there), and only later I understood (again being mentioned in EPL) that BBC had compiled a video about it.

It's a pleasure to share the photos, and frankly, I wasn't paid to have them published either... the attention is sufficient reward for now. :-)

Yes, I imagine the colour is because it's dirty sweet water from a little creek being turned into ice as it is blown up from the waterfall.

The other picture is from the same place, probably behind the "booth" in my picture. So indeed it's not even a one-time event, funny that BBC would make a story about it - what did I start? :-)

PS. A great and somewhat obvious to find pictures from the same area once you've found one from Valaste - click "Taken in ... (map)" in the right column

Thanks for reply, Carl-Johan.
... like your irony that just attention could be a reward for the photographer ;-)
