A vivid imagination may be required here to appreciate the title....

I love taking really intimate landscape images showing details just as much as the bigger vista images, when the chance presents itself as it did here, the overall scene was great but the tiny details would get lost in the bigger picture so I set about getting right in amongst the freezing scene to see what could be picked out...

This was the result, with the water still flowing between the 2 sets of jaws of the 'ice beasts' either side of the river...

People ask me a lot about aperture choice in shots, this isn't focus stacked, I just upped it to f/14 to compensate for the small loss of DOF at 70mm length, I could probably have gotten away with f/11 but seeing as it was snowing like buggery and freezing cold I wanted it in the bag, and not get home to find a soft image, as the entire image was taken with detail in mind.

Lots more images from this shoot, and others, on my website here - updating regularly
