SUMMIT COUNTY — December ended up being a spectacular month for photography, with an incredible full moon rise, an eclipse and a profusion of fantastic ice formations on local lakes and rivers. Here are a few shots that didn’t make it into one of the daily photo essays for one reason or another.

All Summit Voice photography can be purchased as prints, and there’s more at our online galleries at Imagekind and RedBubble. It’s a great way to support independent online journalism!

December was the month of ice crystals in Summit County. Usually these delicate creations are overshadowed by fluffy snow pillows, but this winter, they took a starring role.
