A Glance at Watkins Glen State Park - Original Content

in #photography7 years ago

In June of 2017 I spent some time in Watkins Glen, New York. During my stay I took a stroll through the positively stunning Watkins Glen State Park.

The trail winds upstream, and features magnificent shots of rock cutaways, natural pools, cascading waterfalls, and luscious foliage.

All pictures are my own, shot with a Canon Rebel SL1 and a basic kit lens (18-55mm). This was one of my first forays into really trying to dial in the camera and produce some quality images, decently happy with the result!

Enjoy!

Stairway to heaven?

Another favorite- the waterfall seemingly falling into another dimension as it's cut off by the rock wall.

Loved that place, went there a few years ago. Kind of reminds me of Rivendale in Lord of the Rings.

I can see it. Maybe a hint of Lothlorien or Mirkwood as well

Great pics!!!
I need to get here!

Looks like it's just south of the finger lakes. I mapped it for you.

Thanks for sharing! That looks like a cool place to visit. Some of my friends have been there. Based on theses photos, I should do the same.

I definitely recommend it. Surrounding areas are great too- wineries on the finger lakes, and Watkins Glen Intl raceway if you’re into cars!
