Delta Lake State Park
I spent most of Saturday doing nothing in particular. I attempted to capture the sunrise but a photo worthy view did not materialize. I finally was able to get the last of the “crap” from the garage at the house I sold to the recycling center. I had tubs of household chemicals and old paint cans piled in my garage at the apartment. I stepped out for lunch to enjoy a burger and fries sitting at a picnic table in the warmth of the sun. I played more of my current video game and then decided it was time to see the sunset.
The forecast for Sunday included rain so it should not have surprised me to see the clouds coming in from the south. I hoped they would hold off long enough for me to capture the sun’s departure, but they were moving in too fast for that to happen. All was not lost. There was still some color in the sky and I liked this scene along the beach at Delta Lake.

Glen of Pools
Watkins Glen State Park
After crossing the bridge over the Central Cascade you enter the Glen of Pools in Watkins Glen. I’ve photographed this area many times and depending of the level of water in the creek it takes on different appearances. Typically I would like more water but there is a subtle clarity with the lower level bringing out the individual pools in this section of the gorge.

Out of the Dark
Watkins Glen State Park
Above the iconic Rainbow Falls, heading toward Mile Point Bridge is the Spiral Gorge section of the trail. It is a dark and narrow passage with dripping springs, sculptured pools, and thin Pluto Falls. This is the view of the gorge looking back toward Rainbow Falls from the vantage point of Pluto Falls. You can barely see three fellow hikers entering this section of the trail in the top, left third of the image.
