A large field of loose ice crystals - that sound like broken glass as you step - make for an interesting experience during the winter on the Moira River in Belleville, Ontario...

Life in this northern climate encompasses experiences like this every year - but as we may often forget, for many of this worlds peoples, such sites will never occur. No doubt it would seem as strange to us that water becomes a solid or crystals fall from the sky, if we had never heard tale nor seen sight of such things before. One may bear this in mind: To truly understand another's' perspectives or perceptions, one must also have shared their experiences. Through our individual experiences we are all equally unique in our understanding, therefore equal. Remember this as you are tempted to admire or disrespect another's knowings or actions: No one has a corner on the truth.

(Note: The black spot is my lens cap; about 3", or 7.5 cms across - pretty big crystals!!)
