frozen waterfalls around Bad Urach 2018-03-01

A little bit than two years ago in early March, a cold wave created some icy motifs around the waterfalls of Bad Urach:

Urach Waterfall

frozen Urach waterfall

ice around the Brühlbach

The ice around the stream appeared more interesting to me than the frozen waterfall, where the ice didn´t reach the extent of the cold winter 2012.

Brühlbach

The deeply blue-turquoise colour of the water was impressive:
