Water Falling Over Things 2009: Part XI (Winter Wonderland)
It's appropriate that the final installment of WFOT2009 takes me to Snoqualmie Falls once again. The very first WFOT for this year was from January 2nd, when snow and a cold snap had me heading out to the falls, hoping to find Water Falling Over Mostly-Frozen Things. That time, I was foiled -- while the areas around the falls were under a blanket of snow, the warmer water of the Snoqualmie river kept the falls themselves well-above freezing, leading to less-than-impressive photos.

Not so this past week, when the area got hit with a deep-freeze that kept high temperatures in the mid-20s and lows into the single-digits. After a few days of this, I bundled up and went out to find the images I'd been hoping for back at the start of January.
















Hope you've enjoyed the series. I'll be back with WFOT2010, probably starting around next April.

1. I sure have enjoyed these!
The whole series has been spectacular, for lack of a better word.

And these...I think you have surpassed yourself!

The falling water looks frozen, actually...

And I love how you can see it spreading out in the water at the base, in the pond. Really remarkable.

Thank you so much!

3. Dealing with not-so-Bright House
today, and these are just the ticket to cool off the anger and frustration.

Looks like an entirely different world when compared with the lush greens of your work earlier this year. Glad you were able to end the year on a high note, despite the inclement weather.

Love 'em all, but particularly the close-up - giving a better view of the ice formations building around the falls.
