It was below -20F when I shot this picture at 14 thousand feet two weeks ago:

Looks like we have another snow storm coming up tomorrow!

This frozen waterfall almost cost a tripod to my bro Sergey. We had to walk on a somewhat of a thin layer of ice upwards to get to these falls. On our way there, a spot on a stream was only partially frozen, with water rapidly flowing through it. Don’t ask how, but Sergey managed to drop his tripod into the water. We could barely walk on the ice and he insisted on trying to recover it. At first, I told him to forget it, but when we returned, I realized that I could use my tripod as a hook and fish it out of the cold water. After a couple of tries, we managed to save the tripod! It was so darn cold that the water that got inside the tripod legs froze immediately and it melted in the car by the time we returned home. Thankfully, I had plenty of paper towels in my trunk that absorbed all the water :)

Anyway, here is a shot of the frozen falls from that adventurous day:
