I started photographing “ice bells” many years ago now, and I go out looking for them along the river here in Kennebunk on single-digit mornings. It used to be easier to find them, before someone cut all the willow wands overhanging the Mousam at Roger’s Pond Park back to accommodate the fly-fisherman. I do not know who thought that was a good idea, but they obviously did not share my love of ice bells. Still, there are a few. The Mousam there is ideal for their formation as the water level varies continuously on the tide, and yet the water is fresh enough (not salty) to freeze smoothly. There is also enough splash from the rapids to reach up several inches on the willow wands that remain. And so you get ice bells. Sony a6700. Sigma 16-300 at 450mm equivalent field of view.
