Estonian Ice

by CKR

Fear not! Phila is still alive and well, although not posting.

He sent me a link last night to some lovely photos. It took me a minute, but I recognized the location: a small waterfall between Toila and Ontika on the glint, the cliff at the Baltic Sea, in northeast Estonia. I've been there, but in a very different season. The first photo is from the link; the second, from my files.

Many thanks to Phila and to orang_m, the photographer!

The waterfall photo is amazing and beautiful, of course, but it's also an illustration of just how wildly unpredictable natural effects can be: no one could say in advance what this would look like --- something to keep in mind in thinking we can plan to cope with climate change. To take a single example, what will wind patterns do? variations could make a profound difference in microclimates, apart from big issues like tornadoes and hurricanes.
All that aside, though -- great photo!
