As I walked down the steps to the foot bridge I was struck by the patterns in the cliff face across from me. I would like to shoot this one again but aiming just a bit higher. Or I could come back down here with a heavy tripod and spend a couple hours studying and photographing the rocks.

Wednesday, July 13 I got back to the Letchworth State Park Lower Falls area, which was still closed off when I hiked trail 1 in early June. I drove through rain showers on my way there but had no rain after I started walking. It was still overcast at the beginning of my walk with beautiful subdued lighting at the beginning and bright sun later on.

With the Genesee River swelled by the melting snow.

The Upper Falls are a short distance upriver from the Middle Falls.

I took two frames in the flat light. Then the sun put in a fleeting appearance and I took one more.

Tree and falls

Letchworth State Park. Walking up the the west-side path from the Lower Falls. The tree said, "Stop here." So I did.

There is a pull-off at the head of the trail along the east rim and down to the Lower Falls footbridge. I followed the trail down to and across the footbridge, up and around the short loop on the west rim, then back down and up the car.

(It appears that my Cinestill developer had had too many rolls of film developed with it. Both this and the previous roll were significantly under-developed. Cinestill one-step developer has its advantages, but I plan to go back to my Kodak D76.)

In this case, my delayed travelogue was delayed more than the usual thanks to my Autumn color binge. Pre-Halloween gathering at Heroes Brewing.

Industar 50-2 50mm f/3.5 on Zenit-E with Ilford HP5 Plus. Semi-stand with Rodinal, 1:100, for 70 mins. Negative scanned on Epson Perfection V500.

It is only a couple hundred yards from the top of the Middle Falls to the Upper Falls area. The hike takes on the feeling of an idyllic afternoon stroll.

Friday, June 3 I hiked the Letchworth State Park trail 1 along the west side of the Genesee River gorge end-to-end with a loop back. It was a beautiful day for hiking - a few clouds and high about 75F. I took lots of photographs with the Olympus OM2 and Ilford HP5. Gaia GPS said 15.1 miles for the entire trip, which makes me think trail 1 is longer than the published 7 miles.

A couple weeks ago at Charlotte Tavern for Tuesday Tunes with eldest offsproing. Lanse is in an Irish music group that has a session here on Tuesday evenings. He and his cohorts play beautiful music and I sip a Guinness. And take pictures of whatever catches my eye.

I find the Lower Falls in Letchworth State Park more fascinating - and more challenging - than the middle or upper falls. The challenge comes in finding a good vantage point to view and photograph them. This is from the top of the stairway leading from the large stone deck down to the footbridge across the rive.

Once again, I have photographed these falls from this spot multiple times with multiple cameras over the years. It's never quite the same as before.
