Feels like I am looking over the edge of a bridge ... and its a long way down to the ice and water.

I was all set to post a reply, 3 newer messages came in, so I cancelled my previous, glad I did as I would've embarrassed myself :-[  Still stumped here.  Although I can say with honesty, I thought it had to do with some lunar theme.

This is fiendish but while the ice may not be melting I think I begin to get the picture. 

And talking of pictures Markonions I just love the series of new avatars.  Having recently drawn a collective hiss of disapproval from an audience in a crocus talk when I made a snide comment about the green markings on snowdrops moving about at night and from year to year .... ;D ;D ;D  (The rest of the audience took a deep intake of breath while I checked for emergency exits backstage   ::))

Robin this path is getting rocky, I may be gone some time :-\

Robin, I'm guessing there's a waterfall in there. Paddy

Mark, the full moon helps at night here  ;)

Maggi, no amount of oogling could zoom into a google map :P

Lori, you're close but...... not close enough :D

Tony, it's fiendish in the freeze  :o

Paddy, there's no waterfall in it  :-X

Not so much taken for a ride as for a walk I suspect.  You've shown us some fabulous icicles early in January but this doesn't look like any of those pics ..... I suppose I'll have to get back on the trail and keep looking ???

Marko - Good, I like to do that :)
