March is the time when the ice on the river breaks up, that is in a normal year!

But what is normal any more, as ice breaking in my part of the world now is varying between January and March…

This is river Gaula from last year when ice break happened on March 17. To photograph this when it happens you either have to be lucky to be in the right place at the right time, or you need someone living near the river to notify you when it happens! Here we can see how the broken ice is packing up in a narrow stretch in the river, and in years with more ice this can cause problems and flooding.

During the last years ice break is of short endurance since the ice is thin and is moved quickly away by the water…

In the workshop I have included an image with a different angle on the breaking ice.

In a few weeks the salmon starts entering the river, preparing for the September spawning. The longest travelling salmon will have to go around 110 km upstream to reach their “childhood home” in the river!

First I just used the shadows & highlights tool in CS3 and played about with the sliders.
On a separate curves layer I picked the lightest bit of ice with the white picker and then added a mask to most of the top half which had become too bright.
