oh i see........... wow!!! loving the golden light! seems like i will have to go back each season..........close to home? where are you?

lol..

I loved the photos and thanks for posting them..... i was surprised at how dim the light ended up being ......it was the day i am afraid.... you always take a chance this time of year......

But i still enjoyed the visit and the photos......... took a bit of video for my sweltering family in Australia just to rub it in about the abundance of water here.... he he *laughs evilly*

I live in Ithaca. I love it here. We have tons of waterfalls and Gorges. I have easy access to most places. I am just waiting for spring again. I do not go out too much in the winter. Hate the ice and with good reason

Thanks for loving the photos .. lol. I totally love the fall around here. I have to say the Red's are my favorite colors.



This one was taken on the park side

You should come back if you can in all seasons. It is totally worth the trip.

No one has replied to Hoohaa's inquiry, but in general you are going to find more "action" this time of year on the falls located on major rivers than those on lesser streams such as Taughannock Creek. I was last at T Falls in August of 2005 when the water volume was about equivalent to that coming out of a garden hose. I would also guess that you'll find more water in the north flowing streams that dump into the southern ends of the lakes, such as those in Ithaca and Watkins Glen, than in those streams flowing east or west into the sides of the lakes, again such as at T Falls. If I had to pick one area most likely to have maximum flow in the winter, I'd guess it would be the falls of the Genesee River. I don't know for sure about any of these points, just my best guesses. Maybe some of the locals can add something.

Well, my ID in the right margin labels me a rookie and I guess that's right... obviously several members responded to Hoohaa's inquiry. I must have been reading the thread backwards. Duh, what a rookie!!!

That's okay. With the temperatures this week perhaps there will be enough ice on the falls for Matt's January photo challenge!

I plan on heading out there this winter... but I'm wating on some good ice buildup

Remembered that I needed to post some of the shots I took. Being two of the three I am posting there are up, I'll put those three and a few others up here to share. I'll put some others (Ithaca Falls, Buttermilk) in the right forums after I get them posted on my blog.

It was a fun trip. I want to see this place in better weather and in the fall.
