River clear of ice

The river is clear of ice, but the banks still have some good sized blocks up there. I went walking in the Stockade, the old part of town, on Saturday and decided to see how the river looked. The amazing thing, aside from these large ice cubes, is the giant old trees standing right at the edge - ice piled up around them. This happens to them every year and they still keep growing - one of them is over 6 feet in diameter!
