I wasn't making a critique of your icicles, I was just openly musing on the mystery of icicles themselves... it is too cold to go back to my sewing room to play and so I am merely amusing myself by researching random things all my icicles have ripples and I have the best water in the world up here in Northern VT (suppose the chemicals in snowfall are the culprits)

I have taken a few phone shots and have been amazed at the quality of some.
( Yesterday I took a selfie of me under my blankets (I'm under the weather a bit) and sent it to my son. He called it art.
LOL )

Hyatt does have nice lines! my go to hotels (since I mostly live in hotels) is Marriott because, they have a good points system, but aren't nearly as photogenic...
