These images show hair ice, a phenomenon that happens when very wet wood, usually colonised by fungi, freezes. I have never seen this before and man is it gorgeous. It can happen on wood lying on the ground, but also on dead twigs still attached to the tree.

That first picture is truly magical.
I do not remember ever seeing the hair ice. It looks organic, like a tuft of wool that has grown on a twig instead of on a sheep.
Hair ice is new to me too and what an awesome phenomenon it is. But it doesn’t beat the magic captured in the first shot, that is simply breathtaking.
I’ve never seen anything like this before. It’s weird and beautiful.
Well done for capturing the hair ice in relatively low light, it’s amazing! I’d never heard of it, but it is beautiful and wierd. as Anne says.
The hair ice is wonderful. If you wouldn’t have told otherwise, I’d have guessed that hair ice is the ice that forms on the beard from the moisture in the breath.
The first is sharp and exquisite magic.
