Something out of season

From last Autumn at Silver Falls. Even though we are having a great spring, I'm still looking forward to Autumn again! It's my favorite time of the year.

An interesting note: It was like a wind tunnel down at the bottom of these falls (This is either upper-middle-lower north or south I can't remember falls-who named these anyway??). The leaf I put on the rock was visibly moving in the wind, but somehow it came out pretty sharp in all but a couple of the exposures I took.

Cheers,
Mike

Nice shot. I don't think I'd have admitted to posing the leaf were I in your situation. :razz:

And that's Lower South, btw.

I'll be here this coming fall, for sure. I like this perspective of the falls, and the image is beautiful... :cool:

I'd be up for a trip to Silver Falls in the fall.

It's a good shot and it's a nice shot but I'm not all over it.

Beautiful, but the leaf looks like it was staged, even if you didn't fess up to it :smile: There is something about the angle of the top of the falls that makes me tilt my head CCW. Seems like a little perspective correction would help ?

Nice image, is Silver falls an area with good fall color ? I have never been there yet.
