Trailside runoff

After a quick scan I can confidently conclude this was taken on the trail to the North Falls. During the early winter storm in '24, I took the advantage to get snow/ice waterfall photos. Which funnily I have yet to upload, I've uploaded a river shot a couple months ago and now this, but no falls yet.

The North Falls is actually a much easier one to hit on the trail as it has it's own parking further up the road. Nothing particularly noteworthy to say about the trail itself beyond the fact that it is a mystical snowy forest, but nothing to take composition wise. When I got to the falls and started descending, I noticed a wall of icicles which would be perfect. I tried taking an upward shot, but I think the sideshot worked better. It just looked unusual cause there weren't many ledges on the moss covered rock, which means it had to have been recent dew or rainfall, which was just perfect for guys like me. And also because I could tamper with the focus in the long run.

And tamper with the focus I did. A friend convinced me to try it since the sky was still a bit too distracting (ever blasted white sky grrrr). But with the trees out of question too, it did in fact serve it's purpose and the the icicles are in fact the subjects of the image as a result. I wish I had something more interesting to talk about this time around. But it was simply a weekend trip, and there wasn't much effort to get this, it was just a trailside shot.
