frazil ice
Sorry, no sound. The slushing of the salty icewater is mesmerizing, but the camera picked up too much wind. This is taken just north of pier 40 on North River where the noble fireboat McKean and the beautiful steamship Lilac, the old USCG lighthouse tender are docked.
Could any of this have drifted down by some shaking going on upstream? See Tugster icebreaking on Rondout Creek with Matt and the tug Cornell.

breaking and entering with violence, but it was like a war up there, and a fairly large motley army was engaged. i weren’t alone.
I know, dem boids are vicious!
beautiful photo and I love your maps below!
post a larger version! would be a great desktop BG.
Hola bowsprite, many thanks for your link to the LILAC… Hope some similar project will rise to preserve the Sout Rock LightVessel in Dun Laoghaire.
…I was trying to think of the right word for the sound made by that same ice, which I tried to record too. (Same problem: wind.) It’s not tinkly enough for “tinkly,” and too tinkly for “clicky.” Language is problematic.
