Wow, Brandywine Falls was beautiful this morning. Plenty of water, nice light and some puffy autumn clouds. The park has really fixed up the parking area and paths. There's a nice bridge over the turnpike now, so hikers and bikers don't have to use the street anymore. The parking lot is bigger, too. By the time I got there this morning at 7 am, there were already a couple of cars in the lot. Mostly hikers, but one crazy photographer who decided to scramble down the slope in front of the observation deck to get down to the base of the falls - despite some rather fierce warning signs posted on the railings. Here are some of today's shots:
Forgot to count how the number of stair into the gorge. It's a bunch, but there's so much to look at, you don't really notice.
It starts out like a regular water fall:
Is it better portrait or landscape? I can't decide.
Then it sheets down a steep cliff, before crashing into the pool.
I want to go back this winter and get the same views when it's ice and snow.
If you're going, go soon, the leaves are are starting to fall, and the color will soon be replace with November's starkly elegant browns and greys.
