[QUOTE="hark, post: 246250, member: 13196"] When I went out last week to photograph the river, the temps were upper 30°'s to 40° so it wasn't 'cold' compared to when the temps were 0° (I wasn't out when it was 0°). Sorry I can't really comment about my camera reacting to the temps because it wasn't unduly cold when I was out. Yesterday the temps went into the low 60's so there was more melting. I haven't heard anything about the pilings being in jeopardy from the ice. Please know that 1/2 mile or so north of the bridge pictured above, the river doesn't have a retaining wall so the water overflowed its banks. That might help prevent some of the ice from going really high against those pilings. This afternoon I went back to see how much of the river was still frozen. The area around the bridge pictured above was mostly clear of ice; however, there was still quite a bit of ice north of there where it overflowed its bank last week. There is a small parking area to pull off of River Road. I'm only guessing, but I imagine the ice chunks pictured below *might* have been plowed off of River Road. They were about 3 feet high in front of where I parked. This is looking south towards the direction of the bridge I shot in my post above: [IMG]http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7403/11920611916_21ce48397c_b.jpg[/IMG] And this is what the river looked like when I turned around and faced north: [IMG]http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7354/11919740295_6b4f317c2f_b.jpg[/IMG] Below is yet another bridge in that same area (the Calhoun Street Bridge). Although I didn't see this bridge last week, I saw a friend's photo, and the ice was all around its pilings. You can see there is just a little bit left now: [IMG]http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3828/11919801485_009a32d1b2_b.jpg[/IMG] And below is a different shot of the retaining wall with its tow path (the Calhoun Street Bridge is immediately behind me). If you follow the tow path, you can see the Trenton Makes Bridge at the other end. Much of the ice has now melted except for the first two photos in this post. There is just that small stretch of river that has quite a bit of ice, but everything north and south of the stretch is pretty clear of it.
