Frozen Surf

Thank you very much for the kind comments and stars on Archie's picture from yesterday.

Today, he had his first ever visit to Lochan na h-Earba. He thought it was terrific.
We have been here at this time of year before following a cold spell and a drop in water level on the loch. The resulting formations today, I have never seen before.

They are perhaps formed by slushy water surface snow blowing up against the shore then refreezing and forming a barrier for further accumulation and so on. (Just my theory). Subjectively they gave the impression of large Atlantic coastal waves instantly freezing.
