A look above the Cerebellum

Douglas Falls is just a short drive from the majestic Blackwater Falls in West Virginia. The falls splash down into a unique emerald-colored pool, and the sandstone colored rocks create a landscape unlike any other.

Elemental

Another variation from Douglas Falls. Autumn leaves were moving slowly in the corner and a longer 30 second exposure created a nice swirl to add further ambiance to the image.

The Swirls of Elakala

The Elakala Falls are a series of four waterfalls of Shays Run as it descends into the Blackwater Canyon in West Virginia. They are within Blackwater Falls State Park and are quite popular among photographers, with the ease of access for the first waterfall, and the relatively low traffic of the other waterfalls in the series. The first of the series of waterfalls is 35 feet in height and is easily accessible from park trails

Flow

We visited West Virginia during the fall season in 2019 and got to experience some beautiful waterfalls in the Blackwater State Park area. This is the lower Elakala Falls on Shays Run.
