Nice first EP! Kinda gross....better to have a cup of coffee in the morning before looking at this one! Hope you had fun going back to this one and reflecting! :~) #1205914

Chuckling at you, Aimee. What's really funny is that I've had maybe 4 cups of coffee in my entire life! I'd rather look at 'Slime'!!! lollll

This was one of my fun "15-hour Photo Trek" days. Not often can one 'run over' to another country for that purpose. #8136905

15 hour photo trek....ahhhh I look forward to doing that someday once the kids are older. Little secret...I don't drink coffee either....just tea! :~) #8137497

Wow, Considering the alge, I'm amazed by how much detail can be seen underwater.
Did you use a polarizing filter?

I must chime in as a non coffee drinker also. About 50 years ago I had one cup of coffee and that was enough for me. I never tried it again. #8333076

No filters, Irene. I was leaning way over the wall of the bridge using the in-camera zoom to shoot straight down.

This very shallow (maybe 1 foot deep) water course slowly flows toward the top of Webster Falls. The size of the Falls is amazing considering the source. The old stone bridge can't be more than 25' from the Fall's edge.

Btw, here is a picture of the Falls. See the Bridge and realize that 25' later, the water looks like this...
