Morgan Falls
I’m just back from my spring trip to Lake Superior. This is a shot of Morgan Falls . On this trip I used my wide angle lens for quite a few of the shots to get a little different perspective in those locations that I’ve visited before.

Lots of Mosquitoes in Wisconsin but none on the North shore. It was cloudy and rain on a few days. Wisconsin experienced a heavy wet snow and strong winds this spring and there were quite a few downed trees on the Lost Creek Falls trail and some trees down in the middle of the falls. I’ve reported this but it remains to be seen if anyone will clean the mess up. Amnicon Falls also had some down trees which are still being cleaned up.

I’ll post some more photos when I get a chance to work on them.

Nikon D80 IS0 100 F9 18mm Tamron 11-18mm

Nice shot Phil. It has been 3 years since I have worked Morgan Falls and there was one tree down in the middle then. Still I have been there maybe 8 times through the years and it is a favorite. Again a very nice shot.

Phil, I really like your perspective on Morgan Falls. I've been there a couple of times, but not looked at it like this before - very original!

Tim!

Nice image Phil...I haven't been up to Superior since last August due to school, so I'm looking forward to seeing what you captured. I need to check out this falls at some point, it's a beautiful place.

Looks like a beautiful spot, Phil. I like the way the yellow flowers in the FG pull me into the image.

Nice image. I'm a bit bugged by the downed tree trunk, but I don't see how you could have avoided it without losing this fine perspective.
