A secret gem tucked in the city!

in photography •  7 years ago 

The temperatures are well below average for this time of year. However, I had to get to my secret waterfall tucked in the city. Closed to the public this time of year, a long staircase covered in snow and ice. It is a risk I must take to see the beauty of nature and waters natural frozen formations. This is my original work!

I walked up a steep icy snow covered hill with rocks and dirt to walk behind this frozen waterfall

Natures beauty is amazing whether its winter or summer. Taking the risk to trek behind the waterfall in both seasons was worth all of the risk to see the beautiful views not all get to see from that perspective. Have you taken any unique photos that you had to take a risk to get?

Enjoy the beauty of this one life we all have to live! If you like what you see,please follow me.
