Water drops are frozen as they crash at the bottom of Thistlethwaite Falls in Richmond, Indiana. The falls was created when Timothy thistlethwaite and his brother-in-law Joseph Ratliff altered the course of White Water River in 1854 to use the power of the falling water for a series of grist, paper, flour and lumber saw mills in the area. Today no evidence of the mills exist, except for the waterfalls.
