Playing In The Ice

I have been waiting all week to do some good hiking! Mainly because this has been the first solid week of regular winter conditions for Southern Ontario. Temperatures hovering between -10 to -25 degrees Celsius. I wasn't sure if that would be long enough to freeze waterfalls in the area, but with Temps expected to rise back above +5 this week, it would be try now or who knows when.

The first waterfall I checked was Buttermilk falls in Stoney Creek Ontario and it did not disappoint! The 75 foot tall terraced ribbon waterfall was almost completely frozen over. Displaying incredible ice formations and a nice teal hue to areas of the ice. Both became absolutely stunning after following a trail behind the waterfall.

Wow, the pictures are great, I loved them, you did a great job my friend, cheers! 🤗🙌🏻

I have never seen these ice conformations so spectacular. These photos you took are beautiful, I also like the ones where there are various reflections. I think the temperatures are really very cold in those parts
