Photo description:
Ice crystals form on the trees and branches overlooking Pisew Falls located approximately 700 km north of Winnipeg, Manitoba, just off Highway 6 near Thompson Manitoba. The name "Pisew" is translated from the local Cree language meaning "Lynx". It was so named because the sound of the hissing water bears a resemblance to the sound of this wild northern feline. At Pisew Falls the Grass River drops 13 metres, making it the second tallest falls in Manitoba, changes directions and thunders down through a rocky gorge. Its creation is due to the intensive geological activity in the area hundreds of thousands of years ago, when violent tectonic effects caused the creation of first a fault, and then an upheaval of the southern side of the fault-line. This has left a rift in the landscape with a waterfall cascading over and through it. Standup photo Nov 5, 2015 Ruth Bonneville / Winnipeg Free Press
