snow over the niagara by summerfield

snow over the niagara

taken from the second floor of the niagara falls welcome centre on tuesday afternoon. the heavy snow you see here was a combination of real snow falling as well as the mist from the falls turning into icy flakes. twenty minutes before this i was down by that protective fencing taking photos and the setting sun was actually reflecting on the river. the weather got worse as the eve wore on.

thank you for your kind views and comments; know that they are truly appreciated.
That looks so cold.... wonderful photo!

Is the snow on the top part actually moving and will go over, or is it solidly frozen! Exciting to see this but glad I'm not there in that weather!

Oh boy does that look cold!! It must be so interesting to see them in the winter. I remember one shot in the visitor center of a year that the Falls froze. Amazing.

what a cool view

Something compelling about a waterfall. I think it is the power and magnificence. Coming from Zimbabwe it was Victoria falls for us (Mosi-oa-Tunya - The Smoke that Thunders in Shona), I always get emotional when I see it. This with the snow and ice makes it even more awesome. Fabulous!
