Reflecting Trees

Posted by Mike on

Delta Lake State Park

I went up to Delta Lake for the sunset. The park was practically empty. I walked up and down the beach getting interesting images of the setting sun. I even climbed the twelve foot high pile of sand at the one end of the beach for a unique view of the area.

When the sun was gone and I had my memory card loaded with images, I packed up my equipment and headed back home. At the stop sign near the front offices I looked over my right shoulder for one last look at the color in the sky. The reflection of the trees in the water was amazing. Well, now I had to pull over…

First chance to walk around the building at work looking for the color green. Not exactly green but it is a sign that Spring renewal has begun…

Falling Down

Chittenango Falls State Park

Although the gorge trail was closed at the park, I wanted to capture the intensity of the waterfall which precipitated the reason for the closure. I worked my way over to the eastern side of the park in the hopes a view would present itself. I had to let go of my usual behavior when capturing images in order to capture as much of the waterfall as possible through the trees.

This isn’t the most water I have ever seen at this park but it is enough to feel the power of the water as it cascades down into the gorge. I still want to straighten this image out but I’m forcing myself to leave it alone. I better post this before I change my mind…

Chittenango Fall State Park

It was a beautiful day yesterday, a little too bright for waterfalls actually, but I didn’t care.  I would make it work.  I went to Chittenango Falls State Park.  I didn’t think I needed to check the website, I should have…  the gorge trail was still closed.  There went my plan for a majestic waterfall picture.  I managed to spend some time playing in the creek…
