dj,
Nice shot. This is a very cool spot that I first saw last year when the flow was a lot lower. I plan on re-visiting again this year.

It has been a long time since I have posted anything here and this contest sounds great. Earlier this week I visited Tinker Falls and had a great time exploring behind the falls. Here is a shot of an interesting ice formation that looks like it belongs in a large cave system. I used a remote flash to create the highlighted effect. The sun shining through the ice gave it a fantastic aquamarine color.

Some really great stuff this month. Unfortunately, too cold for me to participate. Maybe if I could add a little meat to my bony arse I could handle the cold. :cold:

Thanks David for inspiring me to get out to Lower Falls. I was tempted to go down the "goat trail" but since I have never viewed the falls from the RG&E side...I opted for that. I would not advise trying to walk closer to the falls from the bottom of the "goat trail". There is not much room between the steep walls and river from what I could see across the water. The RG&E side however was pretty easily accessible along the shoreline.

My cousin mentioned this site, He thought I would enjoy it and he was right. I had wanted to get out to Grimes Glenn in Naples N.Y. to take some shots... Picked the right time to do so as the creek was fairly frozen over and I was able to setup a tripod at the base of the falls.

One of my favorite waterfalls is a local one called Turkey Falls. Each season brings something unique to this falls - and winter snowshoeing there with my daughter is something special. Here are two pictures from a trip we took last weekend.
