I had a friend in from Tennessee last week, and he wanted to go climb some waterfalls..... so I took him to Conklin Gully.

I also took this while I was there with Jay... 21 individual shots stitched together.

This "thumbnail" is 5% of original size:

The full sized image ended up being around 148 megapixels after cropping to a full frame. It looked best at around 12-13% of full size, so I ended up resizing to 12.5% and calling that "final size" (for the web anyway). It is available at http://www.demonic.net/~spec/HighFalls_Final.jpg

That falls is in Conklin? Past where the trail crosses I suppose? I always take the trail to the right back down when I get there.

Indeed, it's one of the last falls in Conklin. There's only one more above it.

Conklin was my white whale this year. I probably made 3 trips to Naples this spring/summer just to hike and photograph this one; twice (unpredictable) thunderstorms did me in. Once, it was dry.
Next spring this will be my first stop.
Thanks for posting all the great pics.

Some shots from Conklin in September...
I think I just gave away the answer to the question I posed in a different topic. :)
