Eaton Canyon Falls in the dry season
This 50-foot waterfall is at the back of one of the most significant canyons in the front range of Southern California's San Gabriel Mountains, just a couple of miles from Old Town Pasadena, and about fifteen miles as the crow flies from Downtown Los Angeles. This taste of wilderness so close to one of the world's largest metropolitan areas is surprisingly lush and quiet, and keeps on flowing through the driest parts of the driest years. I took this long exposure shot in October 2012, one of those very times.
None other than John Muir himself described these mountains on LA's doorstep as "rigidly inaccessible" and "thornily savage", and referred to this very canyon as "The Yosemite of San Gabriel". High praise, indeed.
4 seconds, f/10, 12mm (24mm FF equiv), ISO 200, Hoya ND8 filter, tripod mounted.
Happy Waterfall Wednesday, everyone!
