  • Cedar Creek within Cedarburg rarely freezes over due to the falls that drops 60 feet into the lower section of the creek.  Constant freeze thaw cycles make the behavior of this creek interesting.

  • As I approached the canyon it was raining so I set up my camera and covered it with my rain cover. After firing the first exposure off lightning struck and thunder followed. I held steady reminding myself that I have been struck before so hopefully a repeat would not be in sight.

  • Only subzero (16F) temperatures and awesome sunrises can create a scene like this.

  • Waterfalls themselves are spectacular.  The power exhibited by of one of nature's forces crashing through or tunneling out rock as it makes its journey down into a waiting pool of water.  All that energy can create something spectacular.  It can be something as simple as rapids or more hypnotic as a whirlpool.  As shown below at Dave's Falls in Wisconsin, all the wispy oxygenated water from the whirlpool shows up as white streaks due to the long exposure used to slow down the rapid movement of the water.  The extremely low angle of the shot adds to the drama and makes it seem as though you are standing in the water.  The bridge and fall color complete the image inviting you to take it all in.

  • Often missed are the micro details of a waterfall in comparison to the grandeur of the whole.  But as seen here, their beauty and added intimacy of the details.
