December at High Falls of the Pigeon River

Thanks to an extra cold start to the winter, High Falls is almost completely frozen over already!  Normally it's not this frozen until the end of December.  You would think that the warmer temperatures this past week would have caused some of that ice to melt, but it seems to be holding up well.  Also, you need to get there early if you want any kind of decent light on the falls.  This photo was taken at 9:30 in the morning and it's the most light that the waterfall sees this time of year.  You would think noon would be better but by the time noon rolls around the sun has moved a lot further to the west and the left side of the falls is in shadow.  So, if you want the most light on the waterfall, get there no later than 9:30 in the morning!
