  • Went down to Ricketts Point at sunset and was given a pretty good show shortly after the sun went over the horizon, how can that happen the sun doesn’t move? It got pretty windy and my remote decided to stop working but it was worth the 10 second wait for the self timer :) Taken with a Canon 400D and polariser as well as an ND4 grad filter, worked on in Adobe Lightroom 2.

  • After arriving at the beach after work I started walking to the point but couldn’t resist taking a snap of this bucket that just happened to be sitting on the shore. There wasn’t even any people around so I wondered how it had got there… Processed in Adobe Lightroom 2 only, experimented with the new adjustment brushes which are coooool!

  • William Ricketts lived and worked at Mount Dandenong from 1934 until 1993. His life’s artistic work was transformed by his years of contact with the desert people of the Pitjantjara and Arrente whose indigenous culture inspired his major creative output. He lived at the Sanctuary until his peaceful death at midnight on 10 June 1993, aged ninety-four. His was a lifetime of concern and care for the environment, expressed in his energetic creation of the William Ricketts Sanctuary. The William Ricketts Sanctuary is the realisation of the vision of potter and sculptor William Ricketts who started working on the four hectare property in 1934 and who was still creating sculptures just prior to his death in 1994. Fascinated and inspired by the natural world and the spirituality of the Australian indigenous peoples, amongst whom he lived in Australia’s central deserts, Ricketts created a homage to both in the form of a mystical open-air sculpture park under the magnificent Mountain Ash. Some 92 kiln-fired figures appear to grow out of rocks and from green ferny glades. The extraordinary impact of Ricketts tribute “to the sacredness of beauty and our onus to nurture and protect nature” has made his Sanctuary an international visitor destination.

  • Ganoga Falls is the tallest of the 22 named waterfalls in Rickett’s Glen State Park, at 94 feet. This wonderful PA State Park is located along RT-118 in north eastern Pennsylvania. The Ganoga Glen is about 3 mi. from the Trail Head parking area, on the Falls Trail. Normally, that’s nearly half of the way to Lake Jean, which was my original destination. The trail also has a 1,350 foot elevation rise, from Trail’s Head to Lake Jean. Unfortunately, the last mile of Falls Trail trail was temporarily closed. Much to my surprise, an additional 3.5 miles had to be added on the normal 7.2 mile hike. Needless to say, I’m bushed! There was an interesting event that had happened about a half hour before I snapped this image. A large dead tree on the left side of the very top of the falls had just toppled over, crashing onto a healthy mature tree on the right side of the stream. A big branch was sheared off of the live tree. It came down, splashing into the plunge pool below. The fallen branch can be seen on the right side of my picture. The old dead tree is still wedged against the live tree near the top of the falls. This photo was captured on Saturday, August 15th, 2009 at 3:19 pm with a Canon EOS 10D camera body fitted with a Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L Zoom lens, at the 22mm focal length. The shutter speed was .3 sec at f/16. The camera’s ISO was set to 100. Your comments are always welcome!

  • This gorgeous waterfall was creating its own local weather! It was a very hot and perfectly calm day… there was not so much as a gentle breeze in the air. As soon as I approached these roaring falls, there was a very steady wind, filled with a wonderful cooling spray. The large tree stump in the foreground and all the surrounding boulders were covered in moss, obviously sustained by the constant mist. The photo was captured in Ricketts Glen State Park in north east Pennsylvania, USA on August 15th, 2009 at 1:41 pm. Ricketts Glen is located along State Rt 118, near the town of Red Rock. The photo was taken with a Canon EOS 10D using a Canon EF 35-350mm f/3.5-5.6L zoom lens set to 35mm. The shutter speed was 1/2 sec. at f/22. The camera’s ISO was set to 100.

  • Harrison Wright Falls is located just below the point called “Waters Meet” in Ricketts Glen State Park. The water was a bit muddy because there had been several heavy rainstorms shortly before my trip. The up side is that the falls were flowing virogously and making quite a show! This image was captured in Ricketts Glen State Park, in the north eastern region of Pennsylvania, USA. This scene can be found a fairly short distance from the parking area on State Route RT 118 (near the village of Red Rock). This photo was taken on August 15th, 2009 at 1:56 pm. A Canon EOS 10D DSLR camera was used through a Canon EF 35-350mm f/3.5-5.6L telephoto zoom lens @ 48mm focal length. The shutter speed was 1/20th sec at f/6.7. The camera’s ISO was set to 100. A Manfrotto tripod was used with a remote shutter release. Your comments are always welcome!

  • Yep – my fourth trip this fall! An autumn view of the Ozone Falls at Rickett’s Glen State Park, Benton, PA. I was lucky enough to spend a beautiful day at the falls with some Keystone State members on 10/26/09. The falls were very powerful after a weekend of heavy rain, and there was still plenty of gorgeous color in the leaves. I set the camera on a rock at the base of the falls to get a different perspective on this picture.
