Here's a really amazing YouTube on Yosemite in winter...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

It's about the ice formations that happen when the snow starts to thaw...I've never seen anything like it!

2. My dear kayakjohnny!

I'm so glad you had a look...Often I will skip seeing these, and I was astonished at its beauty...

It was my pleasure.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. I'm glad you enjoyed it, my dear csziggy...

You're right...it is cold!

:hi:

5. WOW

My Miss Peg, what a show, tyvm. Now when I tell people I'm frazzled, I'll have an image of gush and cold carving new turf. I've seen still shots of Yosemite Falls in the winter, ancient black and whites by Ansel Adams, but to see it all moving in live action was quite the treat. Cool share. :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. My dear jotsy!

So glad you enjoyed it!

The live action is well worth the time, IMHO of course!

:hi:

7. I think I'd LIKE to be frazzled, actually.

be in the flow
and
whatever happens happens.

8. My dear astral!

Well, it would be an awfully cold way to be frazzled...:scared:

It was fascinating, though, wasn't it?

:hi:

9. That was sooooo very cool.

Yosemite is such an amazing place. The timing to view the frazzle ice moving will be tricky, but I'm going to give it a try.
Thank you for posting an extremely cool video.

10. My dear denbot!

Hey, good to see you up and awake at this hour!

A long time girlfriend sent this to me today, and I was blown away. I knew I just had to share it with the Lounge!

I would love to be up there when this is happening, but probably won't happen this year anyway...

You're welcome!

I hope Alley is feeling better...

:hug:

[hibbing]

11. wow

Hi Peggy,
That was awesome, thanks for sharing that. Makes me thankful that we had some forward thinking people that preserved this for us all to enjoy.

Peace

12. My dear hibbing!

I'm so glad you enjoyed viewing this incredible video...

Someone was indeed thinking when they decided to record all those amazing scenes!

Thanks for coming by, sweetie!

15. I have seen that Peggy. And I have seen this video on two

other sites.
I am now planning a trip to Yosemite in April for the purpose of hiking to the top of Yosemite Falls and over to Lost Arrow Spire, and taking the Tyrolean traverse out to the spire.
So I may well see the Frazil ice this year.
Last year I had two trips to Yosemite, September and October. And did the hike down from Glacier Point (bus up, I was not in shape).
At this time I am in training for the hike, walking 4 1/2 miles last Saturday and bicycling 16 miles last Sunday thru' Hermosa, etc.
Last year my friends said, well, let us stop at Tunnel View, you will probably want to do that. No says I, as I want to ride thru' the tunnel, but not stop to look at it. I didn't realize.
This is the view from Tunnel View. (My photo when I finally did stop)

I will photo the ice if I do see it.

16. My dear david13...

That is a wonderful picture! It's been a long time since I've been to Yosemite...

I want to go back someday...

I hope you get to see the ice flows!

Thanks for your comments, and your great picture and story.
