Description
This is the great Ganoga Waterfall ...the tallest kid in the class (biggest waterfall in Ricketts Glen). Currently, the flow of Kitchen Creek down the face of this high cliff is at its lowest volume of the year. However, this magnificent ninety-three foot spectacle never disappoints! Just in case someone might be dismayed by anything less than a full gushing water display, Ganoga wraps itself in beautiful fall colors, to make up for the difference. This is as gorgeous as Ganoga has ever looked to me.
Ganoga Falls is located just upstream from Seneca falls, about half way between the Waters Meet Point and the top of the Glen.
This photograph was captured on Monday, October 4th, 2013, on a solo autumn hike through Ricketts Glen. The shot was captured with a Canon EOS 5D camera through a Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L lens, at the 17mm focal length. The exposure was 1 full second at f/13, ISO 100. A 77mm ND-8 Neutral Density filter was mounted on the lens. The camera was securely mounted on a Manfrotto 055CLB tripod with a Manfrotto 222 Pistol Grip head. A remote shutter release cable was also used.
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, about half way between Williamsport and Wilkes Barre, PA.

Thank you very kindly, Byron! The glen looks amazing in the fall, but the leaves are falling pretty fast. I'm sure there is a lot more water flowing there today. Best regards, Gene

Gene Walls replied:
Thank you very much, Diane! Yes, the leaves and reflection in the little pool is what convinced me that this was the nicest angle for this shot. Thanks for noticing that detail! Kindest wishes, Gene

Your kind words are greatly appreciated, Bob! The sunlight above the shaded gorge was just right to really make those fall leaves glow. Kindest regards, Gene
