Station Cove Falls

Another image from a recent trip back east with a bit of time to visit a few waterfalls. This is Station Cove Falls in Oconee County, South Carolina. There was a pretty big log jam just OOF on the left and a lot of logs/branches around the bottom of the falls in general to such a degree that it effectively limited choices of composition. The fall actually splits fairly evenly but I isolated the upper section and one side in order to avoid the distracting tangle under/around the left side.

I highly recommend a visit to this location if in the area and the opportunity presents itself. This is a beautiful little fall with lots of moss and plants growing in/under multiple cascades. It's about a half hour walk to the falls along a well marked/maintained trail through shady hardwood forest. There are dozens of other falls within a 50 mile radius in this corner of SC/NC/GA. Most of them are on public lands within short hiking distance of roads.

Looks like a gorgeous place, Dan. I like how the water takes a step sideways as it falls down.

Beautiful shot, Dan. I especially like all of the layers in the cascades. The vivid greens really compliment the scene. Great work!!

This is beautiful, best yet IMO. The various shades of green add interest and depth to the image and you've mastered the falling water. I particularly like the smaller trickles on the left. Thanks for sharing.
