Encounter with Frozen dew!!!

Got to see this wonderful spectacle at ooty last week. It was almost 8 in the morning when i got up. This is what that was waiting for me outside the door! I was simply taken away by its breathtaking beauty and clicked till i ran out of memory on my camera!



There was a white layer of frozen dew everywhere. See the trails our car left...

Hi Freddie,

Great photos! Here in the States we refer to this as "frost." In winter here in Northwest Georgia, we can count on seeing this every morning.

I remember seeing this in Ooty in December and January many years ago too. Ooty is my birth place. Keep taking the great photos.

Best wishes.

evocative of happy childhood memories.

We used to leave water in a shallow plate outside that would be solid ice the next morning; we would then hang it out to see it evaporate as the sun rose.

Hoping to make icecream from this natural process, we once left milk on the plate instead of water; to our great disapointment, the next morning the plate was empty! Our cat had had a great, slurpy dinner!!
