This is an old picture I took in 2012 before I moved to the west coast. This beautiful falls is called the eagle cliff falls and it’s located in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York. I went here during a trip to Watkins Glen state park as a part of my waterfall trip. This fall is pretty easy to reach, there is a campground with ample parking at the trailhead and from there just follow the sound of the water along a clear trail with no markings.
The people camping were very helpful and guided me in the right direction of the falls and were quite amused by the gear I was carrying around. They had a lot of questions about all the filter contraptions I attached to the lens. It was kind of fun explaining to them and showing how the pics comes out when you have the right equipment.
I was kind of bored with all the desert landscapes I have been shooting these days and thought a waterfall will break the monotony. Thanks for visiting my page really appreciate all the comments and faves.
Havana Glen being so close to Watkins Glen is an easy hike, but many do not go there, which makes it nice as you can get many photos without having...

While on a trip to Watkins Glen SP in upstate New York, I struck up a conversation with an older couple after helping them with a picture of them in front of one of the waterfalls. They had both retired very recently and were driving around the country in an RV. Then the wife mentioned that she spent her childhood in the area and gave me a list of waterfalls that she used to visit as a child. ASo, after finishing off at Watkins
The star of that little exploratory trip was the beautiful Eagle Cliff falls. The falls were located near an industrial park with the trailhead sharing a parking lot with a small picnic area. I was very suspicious of this location, but her instructions were on the money, so I decided to soldier on. I asked a couple of people about the trailhead, and they seemed unaware that there was a waterfall nearby. But my faith was rewarded when after a short trail, I came across this beautiful waterfall. It was the beginning of fall, so there were some colors on the leaves. I got really low for this shot and used the rocks as a leading line into the main subject. This being the fall season, the water flow was relatively low, but sometimes that helps with better accessibility and composition options.

This was an old capture from the Watkins glen trip. The Shequaga falls is located a pretty short walk away from the street is pretty easily accessible. Unfortunately I visited the location during an extended dry spell and didn't get the usual flow of water this time. This waterfall is quite unique in the fact that its located so close to the town center and little startling to see the massive falls just behind the buildings.
I hot to visit the location once again and get the falls in all their glory. Thank you for all the comments and faves.
