Growing up in north Mississippi, we didn’t get much snow and ice. When the temperatures were going to be below freezing for several days in a row, my daddy would stack up ladders, boards, small benches, big limbs, etc., then position a water hose above it all. He’d let a fine mist of water spray over the whole pile/area overnight and in the morning we’d have our own Winter Wonderland.

Nice to look at icicles from indoors. Some really interesting shots and lighting. Much more enjoyable that looking at lighting wires that are supposed to look like icicles (?).
