Early Light

Ricketts Glen State Park, PA
Early light is not always the first light of day. The natural canopy over this area is aided in keeping the light out by high rock walls.

Beautiful shot. I'm sure the shadows also help to keep in it "in ice" as well. #9171186Kitty R. Rodehorst-Hanna January 18, 2011
Incredibly BEAUTIFUL image, Marty! :-) k #9171196frank w. degenhardt January 18, 2011
Into my favorites as I love waterfall scenes and this one is so unique in that winter has frozen the running water completely. Its an astonishing look, so beautiful and eerie at the same time. I love the ice formations. The wet rock is really gorgeous and then the open water of the pool. I know how slippery this must get so caution is best heeded when trying to get close to photograph. You came away safe and with a stunning work of beauty my friend. #9171440Ellen Hodges January 18, 2011

oh must have been a bit chilly. Beautiful example of mother nature's beauty. Gorgeous scene Marty. #9255457Val Feldman February 23, 2011
Such a rugged area - all the more beautiful with lacing of the icy stalagmites. I always enjoy your comps, Marty - and this one, with the gentle c curve of the water's edge is wonderful...relieves the "verticalness" of the other elements beautifully...I have much to learn! You provide some good teaching, my friend! :) #9257508Christine Lobsinger March 03, 2011
