We were fortunate to have 2 days of really beautiful rough ripe (if that's what it's called). It grew really big, which is rare in Holland. I took a lot of photo's, and just wanted to share some of the ripe's beauty.
very nice!
The icy small branches almost seem crystalline and the complexity creates a singular cold beauty. Nice photos! Curious as to whether these have inspired a TG approach to portray the trees and atmosphere?
Wow, very cool! Very rarely see this around here with the low humidity. Isn't nature just amazing?
Utmost impressive. 8)
Beautiful! Never heard of Rough Ripe, it's called a Haw Frost in UK.
Should be easy enough in TG.
Have a go at it!
Dangerous and beautiful at the same time. 8)
Amazing stuff!

Beautiful! That would be a treat to see. We don't get anything like that here - I don't live in a snowy climate.
Here's 2 more. Yes, dangerous sometimes, but not this time here.
Wonderful photos. 0078 Looks a bit like a clay render.
Nice photos Ulco
Bahhh. Happens every day here in Poland... :P ;)
Yes, shit happens. Sometimes I wish we had a land climate, but then again, if I see the enormous amounts of snow in the east..... a bit of drizzle might be better then.
Oh wow, those are really nice Ulco!
I'm quite jaleous, despite our country is tiny there are still quite big differences between east (where you live) and west (where I live).
I've never seen anything like this in our country, I think.
I dont think I have ever seen it at all. this is just frost build? never heard these terms before either.
pretty cool though. no pun intended.
Yeah, Martin, I guess we have a land climate here, relatively ;)
Excellent photos.

I've never heard that term either. In the USA we call it an "Ice Storm". The big one I remember was back in 1978. Everything seemed to be made out of glass. I could see the aftermath on my way from Houston to Brownwood (central Texas) to meet up with some college groups for a Mexico nature trip. A big freeze followed us down into Mexico. On the way back we saw the devastation of a freeze with many tropical trees dead in the storm's wake. The word was that many Mexicans further south in the mountains never saw snow in their lives but finally got to experience it that winter.
up in US Mid-Atlantic region it was called "hoar frost". No matter what it's called, it's eerily beautiful. Great pictures!
