Frozen Minnehaha Falls
Taking my camera and tripod for a walk sometimes turn into mini adventures or learning experiences. I learned a few things taking this photo:
- Walking on partially frozen creeks can be trickier than one would think
- Even if the ice on a creek is weak enough so that you break through, it’s plenty hard on your shin on the way down
- Hiking shoes full of ice cold water actually feel warm once you start walking, sorta like a wetsuit for feet
On the way back I went shopping for some dry aged steaks and alaskan king crab legs at Byerlys for Silvester dinner, wet shoes and pant legs. Nobody seemed to notice.
