Riley Creek

The battle of water and ice...
As the ice encroaches further and further in on the heart of the creek, the water fights backs.  It eats away at the edges, it pushes from underneath, and it flows over the top in order to continue its journey downstream.  As the temperature drops, the ice expands in every direction and the battle continues. 
This battle creates overflow water and overflow ice which will cause the scenery to change constantly over the next six months.
Right now the water is warmer than the air causing steam to roll off the water crystallizing on everything close by.
