Stopped at one of our local parks and snapped these trying to capture the power and beauty of the water. The area is known as Hogs Back Falls because the rocks (many hidden by water/ice right now) are shaped like the back ridges of wild hogs. Beautiful area.

There actually was a no swimming sign posted (its in my flickr set). Rather redundant but some do swim here in summer when the water is much lower - ride the rapids.

Nice shots, I can almost hear the water crashing into the rocks!

I really like the 3rd and fourth shots, it really gives quite the emphasis on the power of the ice and resiliency of the water. Lovin these, very well done.
