Seven Tubs
Uploaded: August 10, 2010
This area is called Seven Tubs Natural Area and is about 5 minutes from the Comfort Inn in Wilkes Barre. It's officially NOT a swimming hole where we'd all go to swim. This shot is more from the top where, when the water is higher and flowing faster, you'd jump in and spin and turn down the gorge, banging off rocks and stalled swimmers clutching to the sides.

Here is another view downstream. This shot is from the bridge which is quite easy to access from the parking lot. You can see that further exploration upstream can be precarious when trying to make photos of the rushing water. #1296758Patricia White August 10, 2010

What a great fun house this is. A bit rough for my liking these days my friend. Great shooting Marty. #8818220Val Feldman August 10, 2010
Whoa...what a very narrow gorge...looks dangerously steep and slippery...I love the greenest of green of the moss and the wonderful rock textures but don't think I'd be brave enough to venture further than the bridge...altho, it does have a beckoning call to it for photo ops - not necessarily for swimming, tho! :) Beautiful capture, Marty, of this rugged part of your world! #8818513frank w. degenhardt August 10, 2010
Marty- Who would have thought. Five minutes from the hotel and you have this incredible beauty. Next time I stay at a Comfort Inn. The view and composition is so beuatiful. I love the depth that you show and the way you bring out the rock formations and the little river below. Gorgeous colors, Love the lays of the rocks, not sure I want to jump in at high water and bang against them though. A scenic beuaty my friend.Carol L. Fowler August 10, 2010
Fascinating topography- but I think I might hesitate to jump right in! #8818746Kitty R. Rodehorst-Hanna August 10, 2010
WOW! BEEEEEEEEAUUUUUUTIFUL, Marty! :-) k #8818952Ellen Hodges August 10, 2010
Wonderful find and capture, Marty!!! Love the shimmer to the water!! Looks soooooo awesome!! #8819142Randy D. Dinkins August 11, 2010
Great shots. I think I would forgo the swim and stay on top to take photos :-).... #8821287Denny E. Barnes August 11, 2010
You did a bang up job with these shots, Marty! Maybe back in my younger days but not anymore..LOL..Love the detail, color and light you've captured in both images! Beautiful area very beautifully captured!!Marty Straub August 12, 2010
Thanks everyone. You're all right. No matter how high the water gets, I'll stay and photograph instead of being rocked on the slide. #8822467Mitch Spence August 12, 2010
Thank you for the description. I will most certainly avoid swimming there should I ever visit. But I have to say that your picture of it enhances the idea of the coolness of the water, it's blue so inviting against the harsh rocks around it. #8822850Julianne Bradford August 12, 2010
Wonderful artful lighting in this interesting well composed capture Marty! #8823968Dianna Murphy August 13, 2010
What a tranquil special spot you've found. Don't you feel sorry for all the people who never get out to witness the beauty of the land we take so for granted. Hopefully they at least get to see it through your eyes. #8827278Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
