Today was a good opportunity to concentrate on small sections of Great Falls Park, on the Virginia side, and single out the pieces that best describe this park… the trees, the rocks and the ever changing flow of water. The layering of trees in the scene above caught my eye as the morning sun was rising directly behind and just above the trees.
The park has numerous waterfalls as well as abundant birdlife and you can expect to see a Great Blue Heron standing on one of the rocks at the water’s edge, scanning for a meal.
The water’s flow over the rocks creates frequently changing patterns depending on the volume of water rushing through Great Falls. I spotted this small ‘falls within the falls’ below, which I thought would look best as a black and white image.
The rocks are the solid structure of the park that contrasts with the constant rush of water, providing the great water patterns and waterfalls throughout the park.
Lovely shots Mike, it’s great to see you’ve been getting out quite a bit and seeing a few pages from your book shows you have a keen eye and how hard you have been working at it.
God bless and hope you reap great rewards from your works.
Appreciate the comments Roger. How’s the photography going across the pond?
Have been fairly active for the most time which has made me delinquent in setting up a website. Have done a couple of trips to Scotland, Wales, Holland, Provence–South of France and Namibia–Africa.
Provence is great for lavender and sunflower fields, vineyards and olive groves. Namibia is fantastic, vast and varied. Of course all the big wild life (elephant, rhino, lions, giraffe, zebra…), sand dunes, weird rock formations. This place is a MUST, a photographers dream. I will email a few shots from the trip.
