Winter Veil

Okay now here’s a real winter waterfall that is flowing.

This is easy Bridal Veil Falls, located right alongside Hwy 50 on the way up to Lake Tahoe. Normally, I do not stop at this waterfall. It is too easy to get to, plus the traffic whizzing by so closely at 80mph kinda freaks me out. However, on this day I noticed that the waterfall was flowing very nicely, and had some nice winter snow around it, so I made the stop (in the rain), and got out my camera gear to take the shot.

When I arrived there was a family of four stopped here, and they all had to get their photo taken in front of the waterfall with their cell phone cameras, including every combination of people in the photo amongst the four of them, with all four of their cameras. I waited patiently for them to finish. Finally they left and I got out to take a quick shot, carefully composing the photo to not include the ugly graffiti that is found here on the rocks beside the falls.
