Very close to home would be an understatement. The outer windows from my bedroom on some very cold nights get these intricate patterns of frost on them. The inner windows, however, are clear. Opening the inner windows started creating that hole in the frost very quickly.
I love this, I find it beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou don't see this often on double glazed windows, but I think its's really beautiful! When the frost is really thick on the glass and forms those patterns we call them 'ijsbloemen' or 'ice flowers'.
ReplyDeleteTo not get angry, let you see a little (just kidding).
ReplyDeleteTomás.
Your beautiful frosty window transports me back to childhood in Chicago. I used to melt spots on the frozen window with my fingers and thumb, making designs.
ReplyDeleteCute. I haven't had that problem for awhile. And hope to never have it again! :) Brrrrrr!
ReplyDeletemakes you not want to crawl out of bed!
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful, ice crystals !
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteThese days, your photos are very white ... unlike mine !
ReplyDeleteCool! :-)
ReplyDeleteI love this - such beautiful patterns
ReplyDeleteWhen I was young we had that ice on the glasswindows every morning when waking up. I always liked it to make a whole in it with breathing. Brings back sweet memories.
ReplyDeleteOur windows fog up too William.. with the humidity :) Your icy windows look much prettier.
ReplyDelete@Linda: thanks!
ReplyDelete@Marleen: I'm sure my parents would have referred to them with that term.
@Tomas: that's an interesting way to put it!
@Dina: I've done the same.
@Lowell: it is my kind of weather.
@Tanya: I often say with temperatures that low, cutting into your throat, it reminds you you're alive.
@Karl: I've always liked seeing them on glass.
@Luis: thanks!
@Anna: snow in Tahiti would be unthinkable!
@Revrunner: thanks!
@Aimee: thank you.
@Marianne: I've done that myself.
@Grace: humidity I can do without!
in the old farmhouse where i grew up in wisconsin, we had single pane windows. there would be heavy frost each morning on the inside of the window - of course, we'd 'draw' in it. :)
ReplyDeleteYour beautiful winter pictures are very helpful: I like much more our winter looking at the effects of yours!
ReplyDeleteI remember windows that looked like that from my childhood.
ReplyDeleteMy windows looked just like that a couple of weeks ago. We had a warm up since then.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful...but too cold!
ReplyDelete@Tex: when I was a child we'd open the thick inner windows and draw on the frost on the outer windows with our fingernails.
ReplyDelete@VP: oh, I love winter!
@Sharon: it's something I like the look of.
@Judy: here we're back into the deep freeze.
@Norma: cold is a good thing!
I hope we're on the upturn soon. The sun is much warmer!
ReplyDeleteNow that's a good one as it shows two different influences on a frosty window.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting indeed. Jack Frost doesn't visit here too often. Always a wonder. MB
ReplyDeleteBrrr! I wouldn't open the inner window!
ReplyDeleteOur front door is single pane and we get patterns of frost on it and it is quite beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful photo and a sight I would actually welcome!
ReplyDeleteYa, frosted windows always make for one good photo a winter. I have one coming soon, I bet.
ReplyDeleteAh, winter.
ReplyDeleteInterest shot. I don't get see much of that here obviously!
ReplyDeleteI don`t like the COLD, but the photo is arty and nice:)
ReplyDelete@Jennifer: we need winter to hold off for at least eight weeks.
ReplyDelete@Red: thanks!
@MB: Jack's a permanent resident here!
@Cheryl: cold is good for you!
@RedPat: oddly our front door doesn't.
@Ciel: I'll be impossible to live with once the winter ends!
@Birdman: I look forward to it!
@Whisk: the best season of all.
@Lois: obviously not!
@Gunn: thanks!
You didn't have to go far to get this fabulous "Winter" capture William ... it's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLOL When I was growing up in Iowa, there were no outer and inner windows. It was not unusual to have frost two inches high on the inside of the window sill. I still can't see the beauty in that. Outside was fine, but not inside.
ReplyDeleteawesome. i have not see something like that in years. i guess it never get that cold around here. Canada is super cool like that. thanks for sharing. you are so lucky. ( :
ReplyDeleteVery frosty!
ReplyDeleteIt must have really been cold out.
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful shot but I don't find what it represents very appealing. I'm adjusting to the cold of the Pacific Northwest but your brand is still too chilly for me!
ReplyDeleteI like this ice window.
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of the varying weather - frost and mild alternately.
You found a great ice art.
Oh, neat! Quite a work of art on its own. I'm glad our windows aren't that frosty though!
ReplyDeleteFrost patterns are intricate and beautiful and I only wish my camera lens was capable of capturing their details.
ReplyDeleteFrost makes lovely patterns.
ReplyDeleteSnow and frost make for beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteVery neat image! Stay warm if you can!
ReplyDeleteThere is a beautiful artistic quality to this photo!
ReplyDeleteAn impressionist scene, for sure.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I haven't seen any frost on the windows overhere for many years.
ReplyDelete@Dianne: thanks!
ReplyDelete@Mari: I've seen that on windows before.
@Beth: we can get deep colds here.
@Jen: indeed!
@Randy: it was.
@Kay: winter rules!
@Orvokki: thanks!
@LDP: we can expect it here.
ReplyDelete@Beatrice: I got lucky.
@EG: it does indeed.
@Shelly: I agree.
@Linda: thank you!
@Kate: I thought so!
@ODP: indeed.
@Jan: we see it when it gets down below minus twenty when frost becomes visible on windows and metal.
