Winter turns waterfall into icy miracle
Published: 21 February, 2008, 09:12
Visitors to Estonia usually head to the north-east of the country to see its highest waterfall. But this time, they find themselves in a frozen winter wonderland.
February has brought strong winds and unusually low temperatures to the region.
The wind blew the water from the Valaste falls to cover everything in close proximity, turning the spot into glacial splendour.
Even rubbish bins and an ice-cream kiosk were turned into fancy works of art.
But this artwork isn't timeless – once the temperature rises, the ice kingdom will melt away as quickly as it appeared.
