Vito Paratore Photography

Just upstream of where Kitchen Creek splits into the Ganoga Glen and Glen Leigh, this small cascade can be found. The wonderful lines, colors, and textures of the rock caught my eye. The spotty sunlight coming in through the trees added an extra challenge. I sort of wish it had been overcast, since then I could have made a more even exposure of the falls, but on the other hand, I would not have had the nice, blue reflections on the rocks. Photography is a game of give and take. This does give me another reason to go back (…as if I needed more!).

As I mentioned in Part 1 of my Rickett’s Glen series, there are 22 waterfalls over 10ft tall. That number doesn’t include the countless rapids and smaller waterfalls in between them. From what I can remember looking at the map, this is one of those smaller waterfalls not considered in the number 22. When I saw this waterfall, I liked the jagged shape of the rocks on the left and how they stood out against the white water. I chose a long shutter speed to give that nice silky look to the water.
