Description

Here, at the top of Glen Leigh, the fall colors were just starting to show up nicely. Onondaga falls was getting its new carpet of fallen leaves on this early autumn morning. This landmark is near the junction with the Highland Trail. It is a short distance upstream from the F L Ricketts waterfall, in Ricketts Glen State Park.

This photograph was captured on October 10th, 2013. This was the very first waterfall I visited on this day long autumn hike. The photo was shot through a EF 17-40mm f/4L lens, mounted on a Canon EOS 5D DSLR body. The aperture was set to f/14 with a shutter speed 1.3 seconds, at the 24mm focal length. The ISO was set to 100.

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.

A lovely wide veil for such a comparatively low flow. I notice the rocks are again very clearly layered, is this slate? It would be interesting to know what process built up so many thin layers... Beautiful capture anyhow, Gene! F&V#8

Gene Walls replied:

Thanks, Richard! Onondaga is the first waterfall at the top of Glen Leigh. It is right at the very edge of the Allegheny Plateau. The Sedimentary rocks here are primarily gray sandstone, shale, siltstone and some conglomerates. This waterfall has the least of the famous red rock that this area is best known for. When these rocks were formed 370 million years ago, they were actually located near the equator. Their composition is primarily of clay, sand and gravel, formed at sea level and eventually covered, compressed and deformed by glaciers. There's a lot of very cool geology under that watery veil. Kindest regards, Gene
