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!
ReplyDeleteThe cars come round a bend with a fair bit of speed and hit the puddle at just the right angle to cause a long plume of spray (taking photos was a trifle hazardous!)
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 :)
ReplyDeleteIt would have been a bit dicey taking photos here but fortunately there are temporary traffic lights just round the bend at the moment so we knew we were safe for a few minutes!
DeleteWow, these are amazing! I live in the countryside and I havnt seen anything like this before.
