Tahquamenon Falls 3

This is the second largest falls east of the Mississippi. The water gets it's color from

the tannins in the trees. Please view larger, thank you!

Dicky...this is fantastic. I wonder what causes the coulour of the water? The ice formation is quite amazing. Once again I must say your generous rating prevent me from posting the 7's this deserves. Awesome work, my friend. Regards, LAwrence.

Thanks, Lawrence! Here is some more information about the falls and the water...

Nice shot ! Very nice...

Very dramatic shot of these falls. I hope your safety wasn't threatened in taking this?

Once again a beautiful image. I am fascinated with the color of the water and the contrast it portrays with the winter white snow! Reminds me of coffee...iced coffee :)

Excellent! Best regards, Leslie

Thank you very much, Martin, Keith and Leslie!

 

Keith, I was in no danger here as this is a State Park with a nice viewing platform and 94 stairs down to the falls. I appreciate your concern:-)

 

Leslie, the water color is from the tannins in the trees, mostly from cedar as much of the drainage into this river comes from large cedar swamps upstream. I'm sorry the link I gave to Lawrence above doesn't just work with a click. If you Google Tahquamenon Falls you'll find it.

 

Best regards,

Impressive - as the whole series, Dick! Big compliments also for this one. Regards, El

This is a very impressive image, the coloured water in combination with the white snow and ice. Nice series

Thank you very much, El and Milena! Being there to hear the roar of the falls in the quiet softness of the snow covered forest was exquisite.

 

Best regards,
