I spend most of my time on other Virginia side of Great Falls. My instinct is to say its better and prettier on that side, but that doesn’t mean Maryland doesn’t have its own beauty.
Waterfall
Over the weekend, I took a family road trip to New York! Not the city, but to the western part in Watkins Glen. Watkins Glen State Park is probably one of the best state parks I’ve ever been to. As soon as you step out of your car you see an amazing view.
On day two of my exploration of Cunningham Falls State Park I decided to hunt down the waterfall. It was 16 degrees (Yea! I know) and I knew there had to be some kind of cool ice formations. Next time, I’m going to try to go to the top!
This kinda reminds me of Great Falls park in Virginia, no?
Taken the day after this image of Great Falls. I went back the very next day because I was hoping for the same fog effect as the previous image. I went extra early and was pretty disappointed when there was no fog. I waited for about 10 minutes I got this amazing sky. Unfortunately it only last for about a minute and I didn’t get very many shots. Its so weird, sometimes the sky will be beautiful for what seems like 20 minutes. Other times you can blink and it will be gone.
I’m so lucky I got this shot. I woke up a little late and got to Great Falls National Park a lot later than I wanted to. While making my way to where I wanted to set up, I noticed the fog peaking through trees. I got so excited and ran as fast as I could to set up. I had to move quick because I knew the colors in the sky wouldn’t last very long either.
With all the tropical storms, hurricanes, and other freak weather we’ve been having in VA, Great Falls is really flooded. It’s pretty cool because now I get all new vantage points because there are rocks that I’d always default to, but now I can’t even see them because of the water levels.
