The remnants of the dwelling/fortress are in good condition, but very quiet now. Residents of this site and many nearby sites headed south between 1250 and 1280, escaping unsustainable conditions brought on by a 25 year drought.
Residents left many things--they dipped their hands in dye and pressed them on the wall, leaving signatures still distinct. Women ground corn and acorns on bedrock surfaces, gouging and polishing them into metates; they remain unchanged, still littered with corn cobs. Pictographs decorate the walls.
After a thunderstorm, water would spill from above, tumbling into the splash pool far below. That would be worth seeing and hearing.
This site on Comb Ridge is protected in the Bears Ears National Monument, established a year ago.
Secretary of the Interior Zinke and President Trump are considering reducing the size of the National Monument by 90%, to allow drilling for gas and oil, mining, and logging. For those who enjoy natural history and the history of our continent, this is a sacrilegious rape of natural resources and historical sites that deprives the public of their heritage and land just to make some rich people much richer.
Redid the postprocessing of this shot (slightly better than the earlier one, I think).
I'd visited upper Elakala Falls numerous times, hoping to capture that swirl in the splash pool. Conditions never allowed it...until this time.
Blackwater Falls State Park, Canaan Valley, West Virginia. (July 9, 2011)
Tolliver Falls
Swallow Falls State Park
Maryland
The 4 foot Tolliver Falls is one of the more difficult falls to shoot, with a splash pool twice as large as the falls itself, it makes finding an interesting foreground a challenge, so this time I thought I would try something a little different as opposed to when I was here last time.
With the exception of a day trip to West Virginia in June, the last time I've done any serious waterfalling was way back in April. Thanks to the drought I've been completely restricted from shooting my favorite subjects, now apparently that's going to change as 2 to 4 inches of rain is forecasted this weekend meaning I might get to chase some waterfalls this Monday!

So when my daughter Emily and I walked down to the Lower Falls at Old Man’s Cave back in November, I basically did it for her so she could see the falls. I somewhat had the attitude, “Sigh, I’ve been here so many times.” I saw a log in the massive splash pool and decided to wade into the stream to frame it in with the falls just for the hell of it. I shot a few HDR exposures and moved on, and really never gave this shot a second thought. Over the last few months I’ve passed this set of exposures over not really even considering ever posting them. Finally just browsing through the shots from the trip I clicked on one of the shots and thought, hey, that’s not too bad. So here is the final product. There’s a lesson to be learned here, at least for me, I went into this falls with a terrible attitude, "blah, blah, same ole, blah" and came out with two shots from here that I really like. Maybe I need to loosen up, and take what I get because this falls and it’s surround landscape is pretty awesome.
Big Creek
Great Smoky Mountains NP
North Carolina
I love fall and I love the Smokies. It's a great combination. On this particular trip a couple of years ago, I visited the Big Creek area for the first time. I couldn't believe it. I think I only saw three other people the entire time I was there.
This particular shot was taken on the trail side at Midnight Hole Falls. The falls themselves aren't anything to get very exited about, as they're only about six feet tall. The neatest thing, for me anyway, is the splash pool which is midnight blue. I guess that's what you'd call truth in advertising.
Some leaves had fallen and were swirling around when I took this shot. I thought this made for an interesting shot. Let me know what you think and thanks for stopping by.
Lewis Falls. The sun made for atrocious shooting conditions. I waited forever for a passing cloud, but one never materialized. Oh well, since I'd made the effort to get down to the splash pool, I took this documentary photo.

Hanging Rock Falls
Indiana 7
Madison, Indiana
For Mother's Day I decided to take Mom to Madison, Indiana as she's been bugging me to take her to one of the many city's outside the Cincinnati area who's business depends on antiquing. My mom who's 79, recently had a stress test and angeogram so I knew she was going to get worn out quickly which is one of the main reasons I chose Madison, as it's been boasted that there's over 50 waterfalls around the city and I knew Mom was going to need a rest. As luck would have it, rain would set in and continue throughout the day. After a couple hours Mom was ready for a rest, so back to the car we went and I drove up the hill to Hanging Rock Falls. I've drove past this falls several times but it was when there was no water flowing whatsoever. On the way up I discovered there were 3 more roadside falls all of which would need some more flow to be worth any attention. Hanging Rock is about 40 ft. tall, there is no splash pool as it has been concreted over and the water just hits concrete and then flows into a drain. I got several perspectives of the falls, and many of the shots I purposely included cars headlight trails and I may post one or two of those in the future (difficult sky in those shots). Afterward we drove over to nearby Hanover College and I did a little looking around for 3 waterfalls that are supposed to be roadside near on the campus. I did find them but they all were below the road and I saw some trails leading off along the cliff line, but I wasn't going to leave Mom in the car for any length of time to discover where they led, so looks like I'll have to save those for later. Then we went back to the city and Mom was ready to continue on checking out the shops. On our way out we stopped by a restaurant called The Key West Shrimp House for dinner and I'll tell you what, they have the best shrimp north of St. Augustine, Florida.

This is a view of Wolcott Falls from the upper viewing platform. There was a long period when brush and trees on the right filled in and made this view difficult.
I looked through my files and found that this is the 20th time I have been here.
There have been a few times when the water was "colorful" and smelled a bit. But only once was there not a good flow over the falls. Also, when there was sun, never did it shine on anything but the crest and in the splash pool.
There are relatively few pictures of this falls in Flickr and there aren't many different places you can shoot from. But it's only 47 miles from Rochester and has easy access. Only twice have I seen people there in spite of its being part of a public park right in town.
I guess I must like this waterfall if I've been here 20 times, eh?
This sign was posted on a tree on the edge of the splash pool at the base of the falls. We were surrounded by large rocks, trees and the waters of the pool. There was literally no place to go; unless you were up for a swim!!!
Hello everyone & happy Sunday! I hope you are all enjoying the last bits of your weekend. Today I will be sharing the first of many sets of photos taken by our photographer, Sean, of a project that The Design Firm has recently wrapped up for our client, Suki. Our client requested a palm desert theme for her full sim, with a total of four homes for herself & her family. We were also tasked with creating several gathering areas throughout the sim, where our client & her family can congregate, host functions & RP. With all of our clients requests in mind & our team eager to provide our client with a finished product that they can enjoy for years to come, we’ve created what may be the most in depth & detail-oriented project that The Design Firm has completed to date.
In this first set of photos, I’ve opted to showcase the recreational areas that we’ve designed for our clients. One of our clients first requests was to have an area dedicated to a basketball & tennis court. We took that request & hit the ground running. We chose to design a tennis court with a low surrounding wall, allowing the players & spectators to take in the panoramic view of the surrounding desert scenery. With the basketball court, we decided to lower it & incorporate it into the mountain that it’s partially built into. This provided great separation of both courts from one another, while still leaving both easily accessible via a pavilion, complete with lockers & water fountains!
We’ve also created a large communal pool, with a functioning water slide & several seating areas (with fire pits!) to keep our client & her family warm on those chilly desert nights. Lastly, we’ve created a fenced in children’s playground, with water features! We added in a waterslide with mini splash pool at the base of the slide, allowing our clients children & young family members to keep cool during those hot desert days!
As always, thank you so much for following, supporting & cheering us on at The Design Firm. Your support is extremely appreciated!
Lastly, I always recommend viewing my photos in full screen mode when able! This allows you to see the true depth and detail of the spaces that my colleagues and I create for our clients.
P.S. If you would like to know the name of the store or designer who has created any of the pieces that you see in this photo, please feel free to send me a notecard in world (Brinks Lemmon)

I didn't care if they called it a kiddie pool...this pool is mine!! I did notice there were more adults than kids wading around this knee-high splash pool. I took a few pictures and I was in there! Sorry, the kid in me overtook the hobbyist in me. LOL
Note to the PK OTISeses: I wonder why I thought of you all when I saw this pool.

Waters depart the splash pool of Stinging Fork Falls and head down the gorge tp destinations unknown but will make the Tennessee River somewhere in its journey via Piney Creek!!! Ultimately these waters will empty into the Gulf of Mexico through the Mississippi River Delta!!!
Eagle Falls
Cumberland Falls State Park

Last week myself and my longtime friend Jason Haley had the pleasure to show our good friends Randy Sanger and Todd Williams some of the falls in and around Cumberland Falls State Park. The area had been receiving some serious rain as of late and this day was not any different as it rained nearly the entire time we were out hiking. This was our third stop on our little tour and was it worth it. To be honest, the hike is a bit of a killer, at 3/4th a mile with all the elevation gain and drop it feels like 3 miles, but the trailside views and the payoff at the end really make up for it. The trail passes right above the 125 ft. wide 40 ft. tall Cumberland Falls, which had the highest volume I’ve ever seen it, and later the trail offers a lovely view from a cliff that overlooks the gorge. In all the times I’ve visited this 35 ft. falls I’ve never seen it with the flow it had on this day. The falls as it hit the splash pool was creating a sound unlike any I’ve heard from a falls before, Randy would later describe it as “hauntingly beautiful.”
This dog may have a 'nervous' bandana on but he sure loved the water!

A portrait orientation of Kaaterskill Falls. The wide angle of coverage, and the perspective of the new observation deck, masks the drama of this 260' waterfall. This is the upper 180' drop of this two step waterfall; the splash pool is dominated by a 50' cone of ice and snow that looks for all the world like an ice volcano, only the water pours down into the top of the volcano and eventually out at the bottom.

Ithaca Falls is a waterfall located within the city of Ithaca, New York. It is the last of a series of waterfalls along the hanging valley formed where Fall Creek intersects the glacial trough of Cayuga Lake. The falls are in an amphitheater formed by freezing and thawing of the weak shale which makes up most of the gorge walls. The splash pool, and the creek just below the falls, are a popular spot for fly fishing.
The area around the base of the falls was owned by Cornell University for many years, before being sold to the City of Ithaca in 2000 as a part of environmental cleanup. The area has been a popular, if dilapidated, park for many years; currently it is undergoing a major redesign and rebuild. In June 2016, the Ithaca Common Council voted to demolish a house directly north of the falls and add the parcel to the park. The city had acquired the house after the owner failed to pay property taxes.
The falls is present as the stylized "I" in the "Ithaca is Gorges" logo.

14th September 2013. At the Splish Splash pool testing the temperature of the water - it was 28°C - very nice. My thermometer is a German baby bath one which I got from Amazon for about £3. Very useful for testing the sea temperature - that was around 25°C this year.

Although the beautiful green water of the Lewis River is icy cold, the splash pool below Moulton Falls appears to be boiling. The roar of the falls is the thunder, her beauty the lightning!
Visited the beautiful Falls Creek Falls in Skamania County yesterday. This falls is around 200 plus feet and pushes out an amazing cloud of mist, which off course creates the need for the whole wipe lens/shoot/wipe lens shot technique. Although this falls is very beautiful and the hike itself is gorgeous as well, I find it tough to walk away with any real interesting compositions. Also wanted to wish everyone a happy Friday!!
