Winter Passage

The sound of the falls alone, as it echoed through the narrow slot canyon, was worth the hike. A rudimentary ladder atop a log allowed hikers to proceed, but I didn't want to disturb the awesome ice formations by attempting a climb. I shot a number of exposures before realizing the mist was accumulating on my lens. I backed up a bit and appreciated the wider view anyway. Flowing waters play such a huge role in the formation of the many scenes I am drawn to capture. I love experiencing the spaces and shapes they have formed, and the clear message that the earth is a living thing.
