Diana's Baths is a set of waterfalls in North Conway, New Hampshire. It's an expanse of water-carved pools, and the waterfalls spill from one to the other. They just go on and on and on. It's winter, there hasn't been much rainfall lately. there's *no* snow melt - yet the Baths had probably 30 waterfalls ranging from 15 feet to 6 inches tall. In the spring that number could easily triple.

A multitude of pools and troughs have been carved over the years, and it's a sight to behold. I can't begin to explain this place, so I'll show you a few pictures which don't do much justice to the real-life experience. The pics below show perhaps 20% of the place, which extends for about 50 feet wide and several hundred feet long, dropping a total of maybe 50 feet along the way. Simply gorgeous.

If you're ever in the area do yourself a huge favor and visit the falls.

Sorry for the size but these just didn't compress very well.

Scott, I believe that we will have to have a session of the GCPS down your way. Really nice captures.

Ya know, I'm beginning to think along these lines... It's a beautiful area, no doubt. We'd even have chances at moose...

I love the colour of the stone especially in the first and second shots

the water is sweeping down like individual hairs

Thanks Sheldon. Ian and I are contemplating the GWMPS (Great White Mountains Photo Shoot) for the future. Interested?
