Lower Gooseberry Falls

Cooler temperatures have changed both the size and shape of the waterfalls along the North Shore. The Lower Falls on the Gooseberry River is exceptionally nice right now. I took the attached photos in low light just as the sun was setting tonight. The combination of frost, snow and ice looks like someone dumped truckloads of marshmallow cream from the top the bridge and it is slowly oozing its way through the gorge.

It was beautiful seeing the ice covered falls but the sounds were even more incredible. After taking these photos I had to sit for a while and listen to the moving water under the ice. The crowds were gone and the wind had gone down creating an eerie quiet in the river gorge. The gurgling water tumbled over the rocks creating sounds that would be difficult to describe. They seemed to echo off of the canyon walls surrounding you in stereo.
