Kaaterskill Falls

[spec]

Another shot I just dug up in my film scanning excavations. This is a winter shot, obviously, January to be precise. The large cone of ice and snow at the bottom of the falls that is probably 30-40 feet high. There are also three people in the shot for scale, see if you can find them . At web size, they are pretty small in the frame.

I think I found 'em -- one on the left side, and two together closer to the water, right? Crouched under the overhang?

Yeah, the two people closer to the water are sitting on the ledge, the third is taking their picture, crouched on the same ledge, halfway between the big icicle and the left edge of the frame.

These falls are very nice lower section certainly impressive in height. But similar to some in the area with a large boulder base. The upper half is like a different world. Beautiful bowl with a swimming hole. Not many boulders to speak of to clutter the serenity.

As you face the falls, the "trail" on the right is doable. A little challenging, but worth the hike cause most won't do it.

Wow, that's about the lowest I've seen the water there. It has been a dry summer....

Really nice shots. I've been up on the upper section lots of times but never really got any shots I was satisfied with.

LGD,
thanks.But those winter shots you took had to be an experience. It's like a trade-off. Summer time, little water, lots of green. Winter- ice but little saturating colors.
