Took a 10 minute hike off the road in VT to see this little known place called Chesterfield Gorge State Wayside, VT.   Enjoy.

I worked hard for this one.  Hiked a whole 20 feet from the car, set up the tripod, and fired away.  Once the crazy people moved away from the bottom of the waterfall, I was good to go.  Don't you just love those roadside waterfalls all over Vermont and NH.  This one is from somewhere in VT.  Enjoy.

Waterfall in Glen, NH. Getting to this vantage point was not easy, but sure got the blood flowing as fast as the water was rushing. Artistic help from Photoshop of course.  I've been experimenting with some of the built in filters in CS4, and this is where I found that look of a painting on canvas.  Enjoy.

I'm glad I was able to grab this photo three days before Irene came through. I understand that these little falls were more like Niagra falls in the aftermath of Irene's rainfall. I'll have to go back, take some pics from the same location and see if any of those rocks were dislocated.

This was taken when the sun was setting behind me and most of the foreground was in good shade. HDR required here. Enjoy.

Only three days after I took this photo, Irene came through and added another 12' of water to this sleepy waterfall. I saw a video of this area on youtube and where I was standing was completely covered in rushing water. I beleive it's back to normal now. This is in Glen, NH at the Goodrich Falls. I'm anxious to revisit this next time I'm up there. Many of the roads and bridges were washed out in this area and it's hard to imagine this beautiful, serene view is forever changed.  Enjoy.

No this isn't one of those windmills you putt through at the mini-golf, but it is at Kimball Farms miniature golf course in Westford, MA.  What a great place and the ice cream is to die for.  Enjoy.

On another post storm evening, I ventured out to Winchester Center.  This little waterfalls is a popular spot for ducks and kids watching ducks in the summer.  Not tonight, they must have taken the night off.  Enjoy.

There are just never enough waterfalls to photograph.  This one is at Castle in the Clouds in NH.  Here is a tip, if you want to capture the waterfalls with that smooth look, remember if you can, use a tripod and slow the shutter speed down to 1/15 of a second minimum.  1 second is even better.  If you don't have a tripod, use the timer and set the camera on something.  Enjoy

Yellowstone National Park's Lower Falls.  One of the most photographed waterfalls in the world.  It's still spectacular, from any view.  You can see why the park is called Yellowstone from here.  The limestone is a beautiful hue of orange and yellow. Enjoy

I know this is one of the most photographed waterfalls in America, but I couldn't resist sharing my shot of this incredible sight.  Yellowstone National Park is a must see.  Enjoy.
