This may look like a relaxing place to hang out by a waterfall, but it was not. Standing here meant I was exposed to the full spray of the waterfall. I had to clean my lens and immediately take the shot before it had water drops all over it again. I could have taken this from the side, as other photographers did after walking by me and looking at me like I was crazy, but I had to have that big fallen tree sticking right out at me.
If this fallen tree could talk I’m sure it would have lots to say. I was more interested in the way the center of the tree had rotted away, and that the deterioration of the whole thing had created a really strong pattern!
There are many fallen trees on the hike to Lake Margaret. This one was on the side of the trail and someone had taken the time to cut all of the branches off. I’m not sure why they were cut off, but as I looked at it from the end I liked the way the stumps disappeared into the background.
