The icicle on the pipe

When walking up the main street by our house I noticed an icicle hanging from an outside pipe. It's the most prominent icicle I've seen in a long time:

I would estimate that the icicle was around eight inches in length, given that it was longer that two layers of the brickwork, which are shorter. I've seen icicles that measured well over one foot in length, but this one is impressive in its own right, and is the longest standalone icicle I've seen in person.
