Cliff Ice at High Falls

















Today felt more like a spring day than a December day, with temperatures approaching 40 degrees and rain falling all afternoon.  The mild day made for a pleasant walk in the woods (well, before the rain started it was pleasant).  I decided to take advantage of the warm weather and took a walk to High Falls on the Pigeon River in Grand Portage State Park.  Along the walk to the falls there were tracks everywhere... from squirrels, birds, rabbits and mink to dogs (accompanying their human companions on their own walks to the falls).  The cliff that High Falls drops over was amazing, with incredible ice formations everywhere along the rocks that make up the face of the cliff.  This particular composition was just to the right of the main flow of water as it drops over the falls.  This was taken with my 100-400mm lens fully extended at 400mm.
