oh it's beautiful! there was a road in dover recently where a waterpipe had burst, same effect but not as good as yours.
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous. I spotted a similar one near here but couldn't work out how/why it had formed, I never thought of puddle spray! Thanks for clarifying it :-)
ReplyDeleteAmazing - thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful!

ReplyDeleteWonderful photos! I've got a spot near me that gets icicles like that (though not as large!) but it's an impossible place to take photos safely so I just have to grab quick looks - thanks for sharing these images :)

DeleteWow, these are amazing! I live in the countryside and I havnt seen anything like this before.
