The gorges in the area I live in are many. This one is outside the Taughannock State Park. We've had a lot of snow then warm temperatures which have had a positive impact on the water flow in the gorges and waterfall. I just love this particular spot, it's so pretty!
View of Upper Waterton Lake looking south. The lake is about seven miles long and the US-Canadian border is 3-4 miles in the distance and bisects the lake.

Upper Chapel Falls
Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore
Michigan
The Chapel Falls Trail winds through a lush, storybook forest deep within the heart of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, offering a serene gateway into the wild beauty of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.
Finally it's winter again! After heavy snowfall the last 24 hours the winter is back here at Upper Franconia! This pano shows a pond north of Bad Steben. The snow was falling heavily, but I liked this scene with the wonderful trees, the pond, the ice and the reflections of the trees.
This pano was stitched from 7 single shots.
Wow! Did not realize how long it has been since I was downtown Tulsa, a brand new stairway to the upper deck of parking, with covered parking below. Just an open parking lot was all that was there the last time I was here.
It doesn't look quite so daunting from a distance, but the UP's Upper Tahquamenon Falls is actually the second highest falls east of the Mississippi - 200 feet wide with a 48 foot drop and a water flow of approximately 50,000 gallons of water per second.
We were hoping to see fall color when we were there, but we were a few days early. It's always a great place to visit in any season.
Another from Upper Moor a few days ago. This one facing the other way towards the road. One of the first ones I took whilst the mist was blowing in.
The lake is popularly called a Staussee (reservoir), it has an area of 3.8 square kilometres and contains 60 million cubic metres of drinking water. The lake, with a depth of up to 43 metres, is a nature reserve. The arch dam, 47 metres high, was completed in 1958 and is between 1.5 metres and 4.5 metres thick.
With my butt firmly glued to the big chair after another 60 hour work week I went to the wta site and looked at recent trip reports, one was Sheep Lake, a super easy hike on what was supposed to be a cloudy day. With a loud sucking noise I extricated myself and grabbed the go bag. Once arriving at the lake I could see that the trail went on and with decent visibility I wandered on up until this happened. I knew where I was immediately, just didn't know that I could get there by the route I'd taken.
Now that I've typed this I've decided that I'm going to climb that peak over there right now. It's my one day off dang it, get moving (he says to himself.....) :-) That's Crystal peak, and a peek at Mount Rainier in the clouds left.
Here is the upper section of the Crystal Cascades in the Pinkham Notch area of the White Mountain National Forest, NH, October 2023. The early bird gets this far left portion of the observation deck, the best vantage point peeking besides the cliffside-left. This upper section is just the opening act in the beautiful cascades down below.
Upper Tahquamenon Falls on the Tahquamenon River. Taken on a color tour trip thru the U.P. Still nowhere near peak color when I visitied, but there were some nice pockets of color hear and there.
A shot i had previously been and was happy to take the kids. Photography with kids is completely different and fast paced - requires a lot of planning to know exactly what you hope to shoot, take the shot and then keep moving to make sure they don't wander off the side of a cliff. This was a great day exploring a cliff walk, the kids having a great time even if i had to carry them all the way up.
