Rain on Snow meets Ice

Spectacular nature sometimes is just next door. The photo was taken close to my daily comuting route from the Black Forest to Freiburg. During a cold period the streams were frozen. After a period of rainfall on the snow covered hills of the Black Forest the ice on the streams were cracked and carried away by the flood from the rain on snow event. The ice plates in the river and on the banks (background) revealed a unique Black Forest experience.
