The Susquehanna River has partially frozen over, and we went out to take a look.
We visited some old favorites and some new photo op sites, all on the York County, Pennsylvania side of the river.
The Veterans Memorial Bridge, crossing from Columbia to Wrightsville, is definitely a continuing theme. I've photographed it countless times, and made artwork featuring it.
We made a side trip to another favorite site, the Codorus Forge Furnace, on the Codorus Creek that feeds into the river.
It was especially beautiful this day, partially covered with ice and glistening in the weak winter sun.
The moss and lichen coating the stonework was in high relief.
The brick superstructure , with ice, and a backdrop of bare trees:
Veering back towards the river, we passed the Brunner Island Steam Electric Station.
It’s a coal fired plant built in the 1960s.
The politics of its continued operation are complicated, as per this article in the local paper.
It’s surrounded by giant heaps of coal, brought in by rail, and large piles of ash.
Up next: a lot more ice.
