Frozen Niagara Falls

Here is a shot taken three weeks ago. It was very cold in Niagara Falls for a good 6 weeks straight, allowing a large portion of the American Falls to freeze over, which I have never seen before. I had taken a few days worth of views, trying to get a great shot. Due to the ice buildup at the base and the cold, windy weather, the mist usually made a haziness at the brink, making it hard to get a clear shot.

Also, the shot was taken the day after a heavy rain fell, which produced the smooth ice on top. The very next day it snowed and the smooth ice disappeared underneath. The frozen section of the falls is totally gone now, due to rain and warmer temperatures over the last ten days. She is again flowing freely.

Great shots! I especially like the last one.

It's really amazing when you think about the power behind the river and under the ice.

Very nice. I was up there in the beginning of December (my company is based out of Niagara). I can't wait to come up during the spring.

Stunning. Simply stunning.

Nice shots. I really like the panorama.

Wow! Great shots!

Wow. Those are nice!

I hate the cold. I seriously had to put my jacket on to look at these.

Those are awesome. I really like the second and third ones because they show how big the falls are.

Amazing. Thanks for sharing!

Greetings, I agree with everyone, awesome images. KC
