Horsetail falls is shaping up nicely, just as it has for hundreds of thousands of years. It’s still early in the year for the classic, iconic red water, but now is the time to get out for something different. If you’re looking for a good primer on how and when to shoot Galen Rowell’s iconic image, you can’t do any better than Michael Frye’s write up.
Me, well, I rather like watching the falls over the course of the month, plus a bit before and after February.
While there isn’t a lot of water coming over the edge right now, there’s enough to be kicked into interesting clouds of mist. Tonight’s show was good, with only a bit of fading as the sun slide down behind some thin clouds, and then brightened as it peeked out under them. AT the very end the water was almost lavender.
Sweet! I’ve never quite made it up there for the Horsetail view…
Just wanted you to know that I shared the link to this photo with my Exploritas (Elderhostel) program. They arrive on Monday for a class with Christine L.
Thanks, Judi!
Another good resource on Horsetail Falls is Michael Frye’s blog “In the Moment”. Your Exploritas folks are in fine hands with Christine: I know they’ll have a good time with her. I always do!
Thanks for the Michael Frye link. I’m passing it along to the students. I love working with Christine; she always sees the beauty in everything–including (or maybe especially) inclement weather and really boosts students’ confidence in their abilities. Cheers!
