Today I went to Kirkville, NY. Here are some of my pictures of this falls. It's on private property and you need permission.
It's about 15 feet wide and 27 feet tall. As you can see the water was flowing good. It's supplied by a swamp above. The owner told me that years ago, there was a mill above falls and the swamp was a pond. He plans on making the pond again in future. The only thing left of mill is two concrete blocks at the top.
Here is the location of this falls: N 43.06676 W 75.93274 .

Here are two more pictures, I went back and viewed my video, there is more color than in these first pixs. Thought it would give a better idea of the surrounding!

Happy Easter to you too, Marty. I can't even imagine being fortunate enough to have waterfalls on my property.

Larry & me went here today. I wanted to try some of my filters out on this one. The owner wants me to stop back in the future too!
I plan on going back late fall and after the first good snow fall too. Comments welcome on my photos...

Will look forward to the fall shots. :pumpkin: :leaf:

I used a ND 4 filter. I tried a CPL at first, but didn't workout. photos were shot around 1 to 2 pm.

That's a pretty dog. Great falls and info, I'll add it to the database in the next batch.
