Winter at Willow Falls

I’ve come to value the changing seasons particularly when it comes to waterfalls. As the ice forms in the fall and disappears in the spring there are some great opportunities for unique shots. In fact, it is now my favorite time to visit some of my often visited waterfalls.

This was taken on the second anniversary of my first photography disaster. I became so excited at seeing the great ice shots that I accidentally turned the wrong knob and loosened the camera on the tripod head. When I picked up the tripod to change positions the camera fell into the river. Fortunately the photos survived as did the camera after a visit to the Nikon repair shop.

Merry Christmas to everyone.

Comments are appreciated.

Fell into a river! I hope I never have an anniversary like that! I really like the ice formations, The blue in the photo helps me with the sense of coolness the ice brings.

Have a Merry Christmas.

Cool Blue shot. Glad the story has a happy ending.

Cool colors and texture. Too many disaster anniversaries for me to remember. Have a Merry Christmas.

I like the cold feeling here, and all the details near the frozen falls. The URC is a little flat and I'm wondering if you might have a stronger comp if you moved in tighter? Not sure myself, but I do really like the contrast between the flowing water below and the frozen, textured layers above. May the light be with you in the New Year!
