A burst water main created a sensational icicle phenomenon in a village on the Herefordshire border.
Helen Stratford, a mum who lives in Staunton, near Ledbury, came across the alien-like structure at the bottom of her road during the sub-zero temperatures.
The strange icicles had been formed as cars drove past a burst water main, splashing the water onto a hedge by the side of the road between Ledbury and Gloucester.
Her daughter, nine-year-old Sabrina, was fascinated by the icicles and wanted to go and see them close up after school, so Helen took some photos.
She said: "I've driven past it every day, it's a phenomenon of nature I suppose.
"My daughter says they look like organ pipes at the cathedral, and wanted to go and see them.
"We went when she broke up from school and it was so slippery but she wanted me to take a photo.
"People have been bombing past it and not looking at it properly, but since I shared the photo they've stopped and realised it's quite remarkable."
One local commented online when the icicles appeared last week: "Never seen anything like that before... brilliant pic!"
