Duncan Rawlinson photographed this close view of a metal chain encased in ice after freezing rain in Toronto, Ontario. Each link carries a coating of clear ice with small icicles hanging below. The shallow depth of field keeps the chain sharp while the background buildings and lights blur into soft circles. Monochrome rendering emphasizes the texture of the ice and the repeating form of the links. The image documents a common winter weather event and its effect on everyday urban objects.
