Description
This visit to the Ganoga Waterfall found the falling waters were mostly in the summer shade. The sun was getting low in the sky, casting just a few bright rays across the top of the spillway.
Ganoga Falls is the tallest of the 22 named waterfalls in Ricketts Glen State Park, with a big 94 foot drop. This site is located on the Ganoga Glen Trail, a couple of miles from the Lake Rose parking area, at the very top of the gorge.
This photo was captured on June 20th, 2014, just hours before the astronomical summer solstice, the longest day of the entire year. The shot was captured with a Canon EOS 5D full frame camera, through a Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L Zoom lens, at the 28mm focal length. The shutter speed was 6 tenths of a second at f/8, ISO 100.
Ricketts Glen State Park is located along RT-118 in north eastern Pennsylvania, near the village of Red Rock, Pennsylvania, USA.
