Brandywine Falls is done as far as color. Very few leaves left on the trees. There is still good color down in the gorge if you are up for a hike.
This image is from what I call Lower Brandywine Falls (not sure if it has an official name). You reach it by hiking down the trail on the far side (west past the Inn). When you get to the bottom (wooden stairs) turn left to the creek, then find the path that heads upstream. Continue until you reach the falls. You have to cross several large downed trees and the rocks along the creek are very slippery. Hiking boots recommended.
This is a late afternoon shot on a sunny day (after 3 p.m.).
Very nice Chuck. I enjoyed this as well as the other shots you've posted from CVNP.

I like how peaceful this scene looks, especially as I'm sitting here watching the high winds blowing all the leaves off the trees. Good overall exposure and composition, Chuck.
