Comet Falls

Day 351: Back on July 19, I hiked up to Comet Falls despite warning signs about icy conditions and took a photo of the falls barely visible in the mist. I've been intending to make a return trip, but the trail is very popular and I prefer to hike away from the sound of human voices. Although it was rather late in the day when I left home, the two-mile trek went quickly. The only people I saw were on their way down, so when I arrived at the falls, I had the magnificent 320-foot cascade to myself. A vertical wide-angle shot was the only way to do it justice. In a few more weeks, this beautiful spot will disappear into the mists once again, to be seen only by those who venture forth on skis or snowshoes.
