Gulf Hagas & RePost

I spent some time in August this past summer exploring an area I have never been to, Gulf Hagas.  Located in central Maine, the gorge is pretty isolated, the nearest town being Greenville.  This slate lined gorge is 3 miles long with walls up to 130 feet high and a hiking trail running along the rim, near the AT.  With lots of ups and downs and ins and outs along the rim, hiking the 3 miles can take a while.  Access to the water is possible in many areas, just no trails so great care needs to be taken - if something goes wrong, no one may find you. There are hundreds of smaller cascades and several larger falls which have been designated and given names.  Some of the larger fall are attractive photographically, but I liked the spot lighting that just happened to be hitting this small section of the much larger Screw Auger Falls.  I have a vertical with a lightly different perspective, but I liked the flow of water through the image in this one.  Maybe would have liked a little more on the bottom, but my feet were there and not much wiggle room to compose otherwise.

Nikon 810D, 16-35mm @ 16mm, ISO 31, 0.7 sec., f16, polarizing filter  I used a second exposure at 1/10 sec. and blended in a couple of spots in the water to retain detail / texture that was lost with the longer base .7 sec. exposure.
