Eco Tours

With a 1/2 an hour to kill in the Andover MA area, I drove around and discovered a cute little frozen waterfall that was fighting the cold weather in attempts to move it’s flow of water.  Clearly the cold weather was winning since only a small percentage of the waterfall was still able to move the icy water.

On the left side of the river was a nice big parking lot that provided a nice stable footing to capture some pictures of this waterfall but the no trespassing signs scared me away.  One or two signs are easy to ignore but when they are plastered all over the place, it’s hard to claim that I did not see them.  On the other side of the river is a little industrial area that had a few cars in the parking lot and I could not find one no trespassing sign!

While the smart Canadian geese are chilling on the beaches in Florida, the mentally defective ones are chilling on my lake for the winter.  When they get bored sitting on the ice they jump into the icy water for a nice refreshing lap or two.  Once in a while they find it entertaining to let the ice form around them while they are sleeping (no BS, look at the third picture).

Cold weather and changes in the tide creates salt water ice art.

A guy with a camera takes pictures of the ice art.

You look at the pictures and think…….

This rock is about the size of a kitchen garbage can (as if you care).

This is what happens when the tide goes out and the ice is lowered onto the rocks in the water.

This is a close up shot of “salt water ice art”.
