GORGEous Winter


The gorge locations around northern Ohio can be filled with winter magic.    When the ice forms, certain locations take on a mystical quality of ice and, color and water.

One such area is the Cuyahoga River in Cuyahoga Falls Ohio.   This dramatic scene is right in the middle of a highly urbanized area, but still retains the rugged remote feel of a wild gorge.  


At one time this location was called the 'Niagara Falls' of Ohio.


It is easy to understand why.

When explored by foot, the grand majesty of the torrential water can because a calm and peaceful study of micro ice formations when the water stagnates.

GORGEous New Year


Happy New Year!!!

Hope you had a joyous, healthy and loving holiday season.    Around northern Ohio, mother nature has graced us with some beautiful snow to make it feel like winter.

The above image and the following images are from the beautiful Chippewa Creek Gorge in the Brecksville Reservation of the Cleveland Metro Parks.   One of the true gems of the emerald necklace.   That is the nickname the park system has, and it is very appropriate.





After I have been sharing some time with the winter beauty in the Cleveland Metro Parks, I traveled to the Everett Road Covered bridge in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park to see the bridge perched above Furnace Run.




Enjoy the new year and all the best for a prosperous 2013!!!
