Water falls can be extraordinary in the winter. Today I decided to hike around Smokey Hollow in Waterdown once more. This fall pours water into Lake Ontario in Hamilton.
I was expecting to see some ice formation around the mouth of the fall, and there indeed were some interesting ice formations.
Here are a couple of shots.
I could not take a front shot of the fall unfortunately. I might return to the fall tomorrow or next week, but I would need a rope just in case I cannot climb back up the snow covered hill slope.

Invasion of What?
What are these bugs? I've never seen them before. I saw them at my parents' place the other day. Lots of them in soil or grassy areas.

I would like to see that front picture of the fall, I guess you will use a tripod to freeze the water?
ReplyDeleteI brought my tripod along but did not use it. I thought my hand was steady enough for most of the shots so I did not bother using the tripod.
ReplyDeleteTo take a front shot of the fall, you have to climb half way down the slope. You would then get a clear front view of the fall.
I saw some footprints (I guess of another photographer hobbyist) leading down to the half way point but I know from my Fall hiking trip to this place that it was difficult to climb the slope even when it was dry. Imagine the hill covered with snow.
I want to return to the fall with a rope now but after last night's rain, I do not know if there is anything much left.
