Water Colors

H₂O, in its three physical states, is an incredibly varied and fascinating photographic subject. This unique photograph contrasts the solid and
liquid states of H₂O, and other than a few small pebbles, it comprises everything seen here. I was exploring photo subjects one cold winter
afternoon when I came upon this roadside scene. A recent storm had deposited two feet of snow, forming interesting shapes and textures on
the rocks and banks of the creek. I was struck by the dramatic color contrast between the same physical material,
H₂O-- white snow (solid), black water (liquid).
