That's great! Where did you get that juicy bit of info?

I visited last in spring 2014 and it looked like someone built a nice path around to the lower falls. I didn't see an easy way of getting to the upper area. Anyone up for a hike this spring?

Nice shot. I need to make a visit to the Finger Lakes area again, one of these days, heh.

You can see a big difference from your older photos and the new one. Partially the camera and also the photographer. Nice work.

Thanks Des ! A good friend told me to use 18 mm when ever possible. And yes I can see the difference too. The "raw" format is much better at capturing all the color and detail, and transfers that to the J-peg copy. I'm using Nikon ND-X capture program.
The best of the Holidays too all !
