It was hard enough for me to get down to this falls, and going back up almost killed me, even with steps. I guess the drought has taken it's toll on tourist attractions, too. This is in Hocking Hills State Park, in Ohio.

The photo is impressive Jimbob with the coloured rocky walls and textures but it is a sorry sight to see what the drought has done. I have seen some results of it on TV lately. Good capture all the same.

We are in the midst of a drought ourselves JimboB. The textures look great in this shot. I think Mr. Cedar Falls is having prostrate problems.

You did a superb job on this one even without a big water flow. I have been to two places that I had the same results. Tigs♥ =^..^=

Jimbob - Judging from the rock carvings, there is a lot of love in Ohio! ;-) The tricky lighting (dramatic contrast) was tackled well in this image. Several yard ago, in Acadia National Park, Maine, I trekked to a waterfall that was supposed to be quite dramatic. When I got there, the water flow resembled this. Disappointing perhaps, hoping for more of a waterfall, but a pretty scene none the less. Besides, the exercise does us some good! ;-) Thad

Beauty of a shot Jim yet very sad. Lake MI is very low here as well as the Kankakee River and the other streams and rivers. The drought as taken it's toll across the midwest for sure.
I like the angle of the shot and the tones . Nicely done.

Give me a moment, I have to laugh at ovar2008! Even if it is down to a trickle, it's still a beautiful image! Very nice capture JimBob and I'm glad that you made it out alive, no risk of drowning I guess.

You know mate...I would have given you a better 'stream' if I stood at the top for yer!....

I bet you didn't even bother to 'swear' when you struggled down there!...

You got a brilliant little flow on you though!

I can also relate to what you just done too

Yes, the midwest drought has certainly taken it's toll around here too - but a fine shot never the less and I like the striated rocks.

I love a waterfall - no matter how little or ferocious. Good lighting on this Jim.

Yes, we have had a very dry summer here also. I bet this is a gorgeous waterfall when more water is available. Still a wonderful shot Jimbob, hope your OK now from your walk up
