New Years Pictures 2012

 I wanted to have something like we had at Prescott, so I put a red ribbon on the one and only lamp in front of our apartment.  It did something to liven up the place and make it look a little like Christmas.  That is Bill on the front stoop waiting for me to get done with the photo before entering the apartment block.  Our apartment is the second floor to the right of him.
 We had a doozey of an ice storm.  As you can see, our car was coated with ice and these icicle stalagtites are hanging from the rear view mirror on the passenger side.  You can also see that the car is coated with ice.
 This house is in Hallowell.  It appears to be suspended from the sky and just resting on the ground.  It has two rather small balconies and is rather unique among the houses here.
 This is one of the many swift moving streams in Hallowell.  It had lots of Ice and snow still on it - probably because the sun did not make it to this side of the road.
 This is Bill trying to figure out how to take a picture with the Iphone.  Man versus technology?  Technology wins!  We were on the rails to trails walkway, but down on the rails part.  The trail is in behind Bill next to the block wall you can see.  It is white because it is coated with ICE.
 Yay!  Bill survived the encounter with the Iphone.  It is good to be able to live to tell the tale.
 My beloved Kennebec River looking North towards Augusta.  The tide is going out and the river is glass smooth when the tide is on its way out.  It is usually quite rippled when the tide is coming in.
 Looking across the Kennebec at an adirondak across the way.  The reflection was perfect.  Note the Ice in the foreground.  A few days ago when it was quite cold, this ice extended across the river from bank to bank.
Looking south towards Gardiner on the Kennebec.
