Parts of France are frozen, snow has settled in Georgia and it's unbearably cold in Romania. Winter has breathed across much of Europe and citizens are struggling in the freezing temperatures.

However even the cold is not putting off Romanians from taking pictures of the dramatic ropes of water, suspended in frozen motion at a dam in Bucharest. Take a look at some of the stunning shots below.
