I took a day off work last week and made the short drive to Cloudland Canyon with my friend Frank. It was the coldest day of the year as we began the hike to Cherokee Falls, but we were as the falls grew louder, we got more excited. The first thing I noticed as we rounded the corner was the bank of plants covered in ice from the mist of the falls. I knew I had to get it in the shot while having the waterfall in the shot as well. I love texture, and the ice hanging from the cliffs are a great example what I look for. There was little color in this scene in the first place, but I decided to make it black and white. As the sun started to peak through the trees, you can see a little of the mist which gave the overall scene an ethereal look. It was great spending time with Frank.
