This WV state park has several waterfalls, the largest being the namesake Blackwater Falls.

Elakala Creek has several drops as it works its way down into the gorge to join the Blackwater River.

Stan, very nice set. KUDOS.

Have plenty of Canons, enough ammo, enough to blow 'em to "L". Now, I just have to learn to aim.

I appreciate your nice remarks, Julian & Dave.

Julian, I really recommend WV to you, especially since you are close. I'll bet their waterfalls are really special in the spring.

Thanks, Bruce. We were there in 2001, so knew it was nice. This was our first autumn there.

Thanks very much.

They're all really nice, I'm partial to #3, really like the bridge.

Appreciate it, Win. I wish the light had been more even while we were there. You never know what to expect at a new place.

Beautiful #1 and #3 are really good. Waterfalls with fall foliage always make great subjects and the composition and exposure in #3 is great.

Love all 3 as well, but there's something about how delicate the 3'rd one is that really caught my eye. Well done!

Looks like there were more colors in WV than there were in my area of New England this year.
