20180124 Ice storm, Meshaw Falls

We looked at the effects of the ice storms through the FZ 1000 and the GH4 with the Leica 100-400 mm lens in the neighbourhood of Britt and up at Meshaw Falls on the French River.   Some examples:

The ice lasted a few days so we had lots of opportunity to examine its effects.
