Liquid Refreshment

February, and this gorgeous waterfall with its turquoise water and the surrounding black basalt column teeth is a true jewel of nature. The drive and hike were long and difficult but worth every step through knee-deep snow to reach this beauty.

A photo of a horsetail waterfall on the left of a frozen landscape. The water in the pool below the chute is turquoise and foam is churning across the surface. The cascade is surrounded by near vertical columns of black basalt, and the white ice between them is highlighting the joints in the structure. Around the base, the spray has created large blocks of cyan ice capped with snow. The crest of the cascade is over-topped by a delicate arch of ice, and the river feeding the falls can be seen at the top left to centre of the shot.
