FROZEN WATERFALL, Tiffany Falls in Winter

Hamilton, Ontario is known as the waterfall capital of the globe since more than 100 separate waterways tumble over the edge of the Niagara Escarpment within its municipal boundaries.

Tiffany Falls, pictured here, at 6.5 metres and Tewes Falls at almost three times that height, are the only places in Hamilton where ice climbing is permitted.

 Many of the waterfalls are along popular hiking trails making up part of the Bruce Trail system.  Even longtime residents of the area never seem to get enough of these magificent views.

 I can't wait to see this during the spring thaw but I hope to get out several more times this season to photograph its slowly evolving winter face as well.
