On this warm, sunny day, it feels like summer and it should since it is officially summer today. And a perfect way to end a warm summer day is to watch the sun set over the water while listening to the ten foot waterfall on the Turtle River in the background. The sky changes color over the forty minute show from the more orange yellow colors while the sun is still above the horizon to the pinkish blues long after the sunset has slipped from sight and it is always hard for me to pick my favorite shot but since it is the first day of summer, I decide the warmer orange glow was more fitting to start off the summer season.

This little falls doesn’t have a big drop as the other falls downstream on the Potato River, but it is a nice little waterfall consisting of a series of drops totaling 18 feet with the largest drop about 6 feet. Two more falls are downstream as the water makes its way to Lake Superior.

It may not get as many visitors as the Upper and Lower Falls on the Amnicon River, but the Snake Pit Falls is an interesting and twisting waterfall. The river splits in two as it flows around an island along the Douglas Fault (site of earthquakes that occurred about a half billion years ago), with the Snake Pit Falls on the far side of the island. Several smaller drops occur upstream from Snake Pit Falls, before it drops about 12 feet and then twists at a 90 degree angle and drops another 10 feet through the narrow gorge. I didn’t hike to the bottom of the second drop so the view is from the 90 degree bend after the first drop.

Upstream from the tallest waterfall in Wisconsin, a smaller or little 30 foot waterfall can be found. But the waters of the Black River puts on a show at the scenic Little Manitou Falls before flowing into the Interfalls Lake and falling 165 feet downstream.

A friend of mine was planning to see some waterfalls on the Hawaiian island of Kauai today, but others will be visiting much colder waterfalls tomorrow when the ice caves open this weekend on the south shore of Lake Superior. The icy waterfalls will not be flowing like those in Hawaii but some frozen ones do have water flowing inside or behind the icy layer. And some brave adventurers will crawl through narrow gaps in the ice to see the flowing water.

The sun setting by a waterfall is a peaceful experience, but many didn’t get to experience a sunset on a Sunday December 7 day in 1941 when Pearl Harbor was attacked and more than 2,400 people were killed in a day which President Franklin D. Roosevelt to proclaim “a date which will live in infamy”.

Some wars are said to be won but no one ever wins from wars. Fights and wars still continue today from major conflicts, with more lost of life, to smaller fights and arguments which tear friends and family apart. Maybe someday everyone in the world can enjoy peace.
