We went upstate to visit family this weekend in Rochester, NY. I had some free time Saturday morning and decided to drive to Watkins Glen to photograph the gorge and waterfalls at dawn. This plan involved leaving Rochester at 3am. I did lay in bed for six minutes after the alarm went off, questioning my sanity, but I knew I wanted to catch these falls on a cloudy morning in early summer when the greens would be rich and the colors would really pop. It was totally worth the effort. Here are five of the images I was able to capture. I am thrilled with them. There are more so you may see another post this week.
My other bit of good news came Saturday evening when I found out that Fresh Paint Gallery had sold one of my photos on Saturday as well.
All in all a great weekend.
Keep Makin' Art!

These are marvelous, Carl. Like magical wonderlands. No wonder you're thrilled.
Stunning pics and congrats. I'm glad it was such a productive weekend.
Thanks Elisabeth. I think mother nature gets most of the credit here. It is a wonderous place. The fingerlakes region of New York has many waterfalls, but this may be my favorite. I'll have to come back and photograph the cascades set against the fall colors in Autumn.
Pat (My MOM) thanks. The gorge at watkins glen is spectacular.
Hi Carl, I used to live in Rochester, NY (my son still does) and recall that the upstate NY countryside is surprisingly and dramatically beautiful in places. Your photos are beautiful and worth the early morning effort!
Spectacular! Your car must have a lot of miles on it, that is not a short trip out to the Glen from Rochester!
Karen - Thanks. Yes I love the finger lakes region... Lots to photograph.
Chelle - Yep. I am always driving to some location to shoot. lot of miles this weekend!
