A brisk walk to work

A brisk walk to work today. My path takes me through Bryant Park, which is behind the gorgeous New York Public Library. A cluster of people by the fountain caught my eye, and I paused, struck by the sight that had captured them. During the night the falling water had frozen into a dense, crystalline chandelier of ice. Amazingly, the water was still flowing, falling into the pool below where its force kept the icy crust from forming completely.
