Crashing ice

On Saturday i noticed the river had broken open without me noticing sometime Friday. so on Sunday I went out with the camera in hand. Some part of the river are still iced over. ( not that anyone is walking on it.)
 Walking up past the the chief tribal hall. under the Steese road bridge. The ice was just moving fast.      ( the pussy- willows are out)
 this small piece of ice  just moves with the flow of the river till it meets a solid object.  - another piece of ice. one of them goes under, with a crash
 then they move on till they find another piece of ice and come to a stop -  for the moment. 
 the crash , just sounded like it had lots of force behind it.
 and the water finds another way around.
