Snow and Ice

Laugh, if you want. Central Texas is in the grips of the major problem with NAFTA. Must be the source. Canada exported all kinds nasty, inclement weather, and we got it by the bucket full. I tried to beg out of work, but that didn’t fly as the buses were rolling, albeit slowly. I did think to pocket my camera, though, and I got a few shots of what Austin looks like when nothing is moving.

Sixth and Brazos, the El Mundo paper stand. Note the heavy layer of frozen precipitation on it.

Waiting on another bus, I noticed a cup of coffee, and note, careful examination of the image, that’s a thin, long layer of crystal structure just starting to form on the surface.

As one cold patron joked, while I took the picture, “Talk about your iced mocha!”
