Dry Falls, Highlands, North Carolina. December 12, 2009.
(Note: All pictures may be enlarged by clicking on them once or twice.)
This is my post for Watery Wednesday. To see more of our beautiful watery world, or to join and post your own pictures to share, click HERE.
Betsy and I usually visit waterfalls in warm weather, but there are advantages to visiting a waterfall in cold weather. In addition to flowing water, it is often possible to see ice and icicles, which give additional elements to enjoy.
This picture of Dry Falls was taken in December, 2009. Dry Falls, near Highlands, North Carolina, can be seen from an observation deck fairly near the road. In warm weather it is possible to walk behind the waterfall, but the path was closed because of ice when we took this this picture.

Why would they be called Dry Falls when they are obviously very wet? Love the icicles.

That looks terribly cold, yet lovely.

You guys do such a great job of capturing the water coming over the falls

Terrific capture and what beautiful icicles! I love the name — Dry Falls!!! Fortunately, it doesn’t live up to its name!!! Hope your week is going well, George! Enjoy!

I know this waterfall George! I’ve been behind it with my hubby and kids.
This is a gorgeous winter shot of it.

We visited Niagara Falls in the depths of winter. It was an experience to remember!

I think this must be sparkling water, George! Even though your access may be limited in winter, the photo possibilities should be even better. BTW, I noticed the “my world” post previously. I’m going to investigate–treasure my photos of all the countries I’ve visited.

This picture is perfect for this time of year. The icicles look like Christmas decorations.

George: That is some great flow over Dry Falls.

This really is wintry looking, and it sure isn’t dry now!!

Yesterday, I was watching a TV documentary, a young professor in South America at a waterfall. I was thinking, what is his credentials? He is too young. I would rather have you and Betsy explaining the environment.
Then in the news, he was on again. I wasn’t so impressed with him, so I didn’t catch his name.

What a terrific shot!

that looks like an awful lot of water coming over the falls…

Dry Falls is simply gorgeous and has a mighty flow. The long icicles decorate the winter scene beautifully, but I wouldn’t want to walk under them.

my gosh, that’s a huge waterfall! looks so cold with all the ice…beautiful!
December 15, 2011 at 12:22 pm |

December 15, 2011 at 12:57 pm |
This is just lovely!

Really spectacular, beautiful photo, I love this waterfall.

Gorgeous George. It was very interesting to see wintry falls. Those icicles completed Your photo so nicely.
