The inner harbour has been going through a state of metamorphosis lately - ever since the arctic frost descended upon us a few days ago. Initially, the super cold temps caused a quick freeze over, followed by an errie mist that lasted a day or so, and ever since then varying patterns of ice dictated by the interference caused by the ferry boats crossing between the mainland and the Island. As the temperature climbed to more moderate norms today, I noticed a very cool pattern develop in the ice late this afternoon.
