I captured these photographs for The Readers' Photos of La Vanguardia in the river Ges between Sant Pere de Torelló and Vidrà, in the region of Osona, with little water, much ice and cold.
The frost is so visible that the Ges river seems to have been renamed the Gel river (ice, in Catalan). The flow has been reduced due to the drought and you can see the bottom of the channel covered by sheets of ice, as if everything inside had been trapped by the frost.
Frost is a meteorological phenomenon that consists of a drop in ambient temperature to levels below the freezing point of water and causes the water or vapor in the air to freeze, depositing it in the form of ice on surfaces.
The Ges river is a tributary of the Ter, which flows into its main river in the municipality of Torelló, slightly south of Sant Pere de Torelló.
However, despite being a tributary of a larger river, the Ges also has its own rivers that flow into it, especially the Fornès, which flows into Sant Pere de Torelló itself.
