The sun sets over the Paducah and Louisville Railway as the sun rakes across the ice-covered trees at Richland, Ky on February 5th, 2022, in this ultrawide angle shot from my DJI Air 2S drone. The recent weather front that passed through the region left a spectacular display of ice in the trees for several days. Thankfully it didn’t cause much disruption in my area, unlike the last ice storm through here that left me without power for 6 days in 2009!
