Description
Autumn is being very kind to the Adams Waterfall in Ricketts Glen State Park. It was a perfect October evening, with the sun getting very low in the sky behind the falls. Golden leaves were in abundance here with no wind to blur them in the photo. This was my last shot of the day, after a full hike of visiting every waterfall in the Glen. It is the last waterfall at the southern tip of the gorge in Ricketts Glen.
Ricketts Glen photo project update: As of today, every one of my spring, summer and autumn photos are completed. Only three winter captures are required for my “Ricketts Glen: In Every Season” book to be finished. Hopefully, this winter’s weather will cooperate so I will be able to publish the complete set of seasonal photos of this amazing place by spring of 2015.
This spot is conveniently located at the southern tip of the park’s very popular wilderness area. The site is just a few steps away from the “Evergreen” parking area on RT-118. It is, by far, the easiest to reach waterfall in the entire park. That makes this the perfect place to end the day in Ricketts Glen State Park.
This photograph was captured on October 8th, 2014, with a Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L lens on a Canon EOS 5D DSLR body. The aperture was set to f/11 with a shutter speed of 6 full seconds, in manual mode. The lens was at the 17mm focal length. The camera’s ISO was set to 100. A Manfrotto tripod was used with a 222 “pistol Grip” head.
Ricketts Glen State Park is located at the junction of RT-118 and RT 487 in Fairmount Township, Pennsylvania, USA. The nearest town is Red Rock, PA, less than half way to Williamsport from Wilkes Barre, PA.
