May 10, 2009 Trip Log
Goal...
I wanted to photograph many of Ohiopyle State Park, Pennsylvania's features with spring foliage.
Conditions...
Intervals of strong gusty winds did give me some hesitation about visiting the park today as winds tend to blur forested scenes. The atmosphere included haze and some fast moving clouds with occasional clear skies.
Sightseeing
I didn't plan any major hikes today as I just really wanted to skim the park and get a nice variation of spring pictures. I arrived about noon and of course made my first stop at Ohiopyle State Park, Pennsylvania's day use area that includes observation decks for viewing the Ohiopyle Falls.
The near noon light would ensure the waterfall would be well lit as it tumbles into the dark Cucumber Run ravine. I parked my car and walked down the path to the high observation point for Cucumber Falls, where I found a boisterous wall of white water with an almost black background as the ravine walls were in dark shade.
I backtracked back to the observation point and walked down the natural stairs into the deep ravine that was filled with a cold refreshing mist from the waterfall and walked towards it over a natural mound and some large rocks and snapped some more pictures I figured I wouldn't use for the contrast of brightness verse darkness was too much to make a compelling picture.
I arrived at the mouth of Cucumber Run with the discovery that the Youghiogheny River had swallowed up some of my favorite rocks to take pictures from of Laurel Ridge and the gorge, thus I had to climb around some thick vegetation in an attempt to get the same perspectives.
I followed Meadow Run Trail a short ways to get to some large rocks along the river and took a few more pictures before heading back towards Cucumber Falls. About 30 years downstream of the falls, I made an attempt to cross the rock boulders and logs along the ravine floor without getting wet in an attempt to get to the other side for some shots of the falls. About halfway across, two large rocks with an opening right before the waterfall's bottom caught my eye.
I took a few more pictures of Meadow Run before finally heading on home.
