A river runs through it - a photo on Flickriver

            Sometimes you wake up early to photograph a scene, head out, the tire pressure is low, the tank needs gas, the coffee is cold, and its raining.  You get to the location and after you wade in 10 inches of mud for about a mile, you realize someone tagged the canyon with the waterfall.  No shot for you, even after all the pain.  

Other times the stars align and you can't seem to take a bad shot.  There was pain in getting here, but it was worth it this time. 

This is another image I shot in the Watkins Glen State Park.  Yes, I know that gorge is normally all about the Rainbow Bridge, but there are lots of other great compositions too.  Especially when you get up at stupid-o-clock to be there alone after sleeping most of the night in the rental car to be sure you were the first one there.  

Victory.  Let me know what you think.
