Sky Pond

Uploaded: November 01, 2008

Description

Aptly named, it truly is a pond in the sky. A 10-mile round trip hike in the Rocky Mountains. The final part of the trail requires that you scale the side of a cliff with a waterfall pouring down. It is steep, and the climb finds one or both feet (and both hands) actually in the water. It was quite unnerving, but so worth it!

Exif: F Number: 18, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/125 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 200, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 47.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 20D
