3 Interesting frost on the leaves floating in the river this morning just at sunrise. Cartersville, VA, USA

I desaturated it a little bit and added some contrast. Not sure if that marble looking section is ice or not. It is not the rocks. I have taken 100s of pictures in this area before and have never seen this phenomenon. I thought it was "neat"

Nice!! The pattern in the water sure makes for an interesting pic!!

It's heat coming from the water as it enters the colder air above its surface. Usually looks like wispy smoke-ish spider webby sort of thing. It is not frost on leaves; the water would melt any frost captured on a leaf as soon as it made contact with the water.

Just so. I've seen similar mists at Pony Pasture, about forty miles downstream from Cartersville. Very pretty.
