[Back to PhotoDude's Web Log]	#212: Freezer Phenomenon #2	[Back to Pixel Pile Archives]

If you'd like to buy a print of this image, it may already be on sale at PhotoDude Labs. If it isn't, e-mail me to have it added.

Last Time it appeared at about a 45 degree angle. This one's nearly vertical. No, it's not Photoshop. It's a bizarre Real Life phenomenon that happens every now and then in our freezer.

Perhaps it's Mother Nature, bored, trolling for some goofball with a camera. Happy to oblige.

it just hit me... vibrations from the compressor make tiny waves from all sides of the tray. when they meet in the middle it might be that at that time the temp is just reaching freezing. it would take awhile but i can sorta see how it would build up over time...hmmm. or maybe not.

Nice try, but your theory is disproven by this first recorded appearance (it has happened many times, but only caught twice since I got the digital camera). In the first occurence, the ice stalagmite started near the end on the cube, not the middle, and rose at a 45 degree angle.

Next theory, please.
