Here in Colorado, we get frozen waterfalls that are blue, bright vivid gorgeous
blue. It's amazing. Agreed about the snow line- better to have a patch of snow
in a gulley or valley- a little tiny glacier.
Beautiful work- I'm jealous! I don't have the space, the parts, or the
imagination to even start it. Spotlighted indeed.
