Amity Creek
Duluth, Minnesota
Here in Duluth, certain parts of Skyline Parkway are closed off during the winter months. This section, is one of them.
Normally, I try to get here before they close this road for the season but I missed out and had to wait this one out. In hindsight, it worked out for the better.
The weekend they had opened this road back up, I managed to drive up feeling super excited and also that its waterfalls season. Most of the ice melted but the trails were still muddy and slick. I couldn't wait to get up here and to view this waterfall once again.
The Amity creek was just flowing downstream and I was just excited about it. I had to remain calm and find where I wanted to compose and capture this local gem of a waterfall. The evening sun was fading away quickly behind the nearby trees and I was short on daylight time.
After capturing this image, I just took this in. I completely had this area to myself and the ambient sound of rushing water was just a zen to me.
