Description
This winter view is from the "Waters Meet" point in Ricketts Glen State Park. The two branches of Kitchen Creek join together here, hence the name. It is also where the Ganoga Glen and Glen Leigh trails converge.
You are looking straight up Glen Leigh in this photo. With no foliage on the winter trees, you can clearly see the first three waterfalls along the Glen Leigh trail.
Closest to the viewer, we find unnamed falls, where the Glen Leigh branch empties directly into the main stem of Kitchen Creek. A little above that is the Wyandot waterfall, just below the footbridge that crosses the gorge. At the top of the photo is B. Reynolds falls, which was still covered in ice when this image was captured.
The photo was taken on a winter hike through Ricketts Glen. It was shot with a Canon EOS 10D DSLR camera, through a Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L lens at the 29mm focal length. The shutter speed was 1/60th sec at f/8, ISO 200. A light Bilora Super-Biloret tripod was used with a Bogen head. A remote shutter release cable was also employed.
Ricketts Glen 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 the cities of Williamsport and Wilkes Barre.

A man after my own heart, doing all four seasons of the same scene, each is a masterpiece and the four together are AWESOME. All four should be hanging in some large plush lobby somewhere. I think this is my favorite of the four fv

Thank you so much for viewing the complete seasonal set of photos of this scene, Byron! I greatly appreciate your extremely kind comments! This is my most memorable shot of Waters Meet, just because it is so difficult to reach in winter conditions (when the glen is closed to the general public). I treasure every moment I spend at this spot (partly because it's where I usually eat my lunch. lol). Kindest regards, Gene
