Winter Wonders

Ice Cascade

Mountain Magic

Running with
the winter breezes,
Droplets on the
rockface freezes.

Sculpting icy
waterfalls,
That cling until
the springtime calls.

What a beautiful scenic roadside you have, Sunny. Amazing photos. I love frozen water and falls but we don't get that close to them here in SA (they're normally high up in the mountains along inaccessible passes) Thanks for sharing yours.

I think frozen waterfalls are the coolest thing. I read wear that some people climb them in the winter for fun.

Nice photographs and verse.

Wow Sunny!!! I LOVE it. It reminds me of the frozen waterfalls we saw recently near Brevard, NC. Love seeing them frozen like that in winter. GREAT pictures.

BRRRRRRR!

I know it doesn't work this way... but whenever I see frozen waterfalls I can't help but imagine that it got really cold instantly and at that second, the water stopped flowing...

Very beautiful shots, Sunny!

Sunny said...

Hi Everyone,
Thank you for your kind comments, they warm my heart on a cold winter's day.

I just wanted to mention that these ice falls are not actually waterfalls. They are small amounts of mountain runoff that run down over the ledges that were blasted away to make room for the road. The water accumulates and freezes, when they thaw in the spring you don't see any signs of water in most areas, except for natural springs.

Keep warm.
Sunny :)

Well, we're finally thawing out over here. So, scenes like these will soon be a faint memory. I'm so glad it's raining! Wait, i better not say that too loudly. The last thing i wished for was a white Christmas! ;) Lizzy
