Re-Edited

Since I had a little time this morning I went back to the raw file of this image from my first Ithaca trip in June.  When I first edited the photos I had done a quick version of this one.  I have gone back and settled on a crop and worked on the tones of the image a little.  It looks like it will hold up to a 10x20 print.  I will have one done to see how it looks.  I am thinking this one will look great on canvas!

Kee Makin' Art!

Sunrise and Fog Above The Trees - Ithaca, NY

Lucifer Falls ...

The straight on shot above from across the glen gives you a better sense of the scale of Lucifer falls than the bottom photo I posted yesterday.  to the right at the top of the falls you can see the staircase I was standing on when I took the shot.

The early morning in the glens of the Finger Lakes is the best time to go.  i only ran into three other people while I was there.  The sounds of rushing water as it flows over the rocks and splashes into the pools is just as wonderful as the sights the streams and waterfalls reveal before your eyes.  I am in awe every time I hike in one of these places.

Keep Makin' Art!

New York State of Mind | Enfield Glen - Ithaca, NY

If anyone remembers the old 1970's bumper stickers that said Ithaca's Gorges, I am hear to tell you it is true.  I spent the morning photographing Enfield Glen and Lucifer Falls (what a great name for a waterfall) in Ithaca, NY.  The glen is at the south end of Lake Cayuga in Robert Treman State Park.  This glen is similar to Watkins Glen that I photographed last summer except that Watkins Glen is at the bottom of Lake Seneca.  Ithaca has many more waterfalls and gorges to discover this was just a first exploratory trip.  I will head back up this way in the fall and spend more than just a couple of hours.  Central New York and the southern finger lakes are truly a marvel to behold.  I see many more trip to this region in my future.


Keep Makin' Art,
