CreepyBlob - a photo on Flickriver

CreepyBlob

            This was from the April 1st storm.
The joke was that it snowed the most incredible variety of capped columns but unfortunately the ambient temperature, where I was standing, was just above freezing and collecting an image of one was nearly impossible.
However if you watched it melt on a glass slide it eventually arrives at a point of quasi-liquidity where imaging again is an option. If you look carefully you can make out a large number of intact inclusions from individual crystals.  It appears that all sense of crystal structure is gone but  the birefringence is extremely heavy just before it becomes water once again...As in this image.
I normally don't use boarders around individual images but this one kinda needs it.
The image was taken in transmitted crossed-polarized light
