It was a magical day here in Dawson City. Very foggy, and these spiky ice crystals covered everything. The trees and bushes along the Yukon River looked like magical albino evergreens; or rather, some kind of magical everwhites. I took lots of photos. I'm just learning how to use a new digital camera, and this wonderland of frost was inspirational.

A local asked me, Haven't you seen ice frost before? I guess I haven't. Not like this. This is a closer view of the spiky crystals that coated everything this week. This birch is growing on the banks of the Yukon River. Dawson City is buit in a moose swamp, near the convergence of the Klondike and Yukon Rivers, and is prone to flooding in the spring. A dyke now protects the Town of the City of Dawson (the official name).
When one has a warm home, ice and snow can be very picturesque.
