Downstream rime

Downstream from the dam in Kennebunk, Maine, at 5° above zero. Crossing the bridge in the car, I saw that the supercooled mist from the dam had decorated every branch and twig along the river with a delicate coating of rime. I parked at the Chamber of Commerce and walked back across the bridge for a few photos. Then I continued on to the pond to look for eagles (without success). The sun came out while I was there. By the time I got back to the bridge, the rime was completely gone, even though it was still only 8°. Delicate indeed. Sony a6700. Sigma 16-300 at 66mm equivalent field of view.
