When the geese were on the move in late October I picked this location in the hope I could capture a group rising off the lake in the morning light.
Thanks to all for looking and commenting.
Like North Falls further upstream, Middle North Falls has certain characteristics which one could argue give it an edge when comparing it to the park's main attraction, South Falls. Despite being considerably shorter, Middle North Falls is a markedly amorphous waterfall which changes physical shape in a very dramatic way as the volume of water in North Silver Creek changes. The 106 foot tall falls take the form of a narrow column of water during the summer months, funneled to perhaps 5 feet wide at most by a narrow runnel in the bedrock. With greater stream flow in the winter and spring months however, North Silver Creek sheets out across the 60-foot wide creek bed and turns the falls into a broad curtain of water, with part of the falls impacting on a twisting chute of basalt which then slides to join the more volumnous half of the creek in the plunge pool.
Middle North Falls is one of four waterfalls in Silver Falls State Park which features a trail which traverses behind the falling water. Unlike the other three, the trail leading behind Middle North Falls is a dead-end, constructed purely to allow access to additional views of the falls.
Pretty sky here in the southeast direction along Middle River after thunderstorms rolled through.

....laying in the shadows of Boulsworth Hill , the snow still sticking to its great height . We have blizzard conditions forecast for later this week!! time to stock up on essentials , methinks !
Tonight's sunset had the potential to really color up ... it was real close, but alas it eventually puttered out with too many clouds to the west. Was still able to get some interesting captures I think down at Middle River with the reflections and cloud deck. This was about 5 minutes before sunset.
There was a chance of some nice light and clouds in the sky so I headed down to my Dad's to give him a quick visit and catch the sunset.
Alas the cloud deck overhead cleared too much as the sun was going down, so I used the 100mm lens versus the 14mm and went on a chase for some 100mm landscape sunset captures along Middle River.
