Description
There had been very little precipitation in Ricketts Glen, for more than a month. A nice steady rain had fallen here during the overnight and early morning hours. The rain ended shortly before I arrived here, breathing new life into the flow of Kitchen Creek. If not for that very welcome drenching, this waterfall might have looked much less compelling than it appeared while I was there.
The site is located on the Glen Leigh Trail. It is some distance upstream from Ozone Falls and just a stone’s throw below the Shawnee Waterfall.
This photograph was captured on Wednesday, October 8th, 2014, on a solo autumn hike through Ricketts Glen. The photo was shot with a Canon EOS 5D camera through a Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L lens, at the 20mm focal length. The exposure was 1.3 seconds at f/9, ISO 100. A 77mm ND-4 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.

Fantastic perspective and beautiful capture. L/F

Thank you very kindly, Marcia! I'm just waiting for that dead tree in the middle of the falls to come loose and be ushered downstream. It's been there for as long as I can remember (...and that's a very long tome). Best regards, Gene
