The Shape of Water

Water in liquid form is shapeless; it flows and crashes like Bruce Lee once said. Impossible to shape by hand; though it mimics the shape of what its poured into be it a cup, a teapot, a bowl, an ice tray, to name a few. However, water in solid form, frozen into ice below 0 degrees centigrade, becomes whatever shape one wants it to be. Some ice sculptures take the shape of castles, animals; birds like owls Water in the form of snow is tantamount to wet clay in the palm of one's hand. One could mould fallen snow into a variety of shapes; a ball, a bell, a triangle. Isn't it amazing how malleable water is? Submitted for...
