October Morning

Yeah, yeah, yeah, another thread about some snapshots I’ve taken. Once again this was a place I had never been – they’re always the best.

Absolutely gorgeous morning so the bike had to come out. Along with the bike I had taken the camera and camcorder.

I had to push em a bit. I love that smack me in the face color.

 

I normally don’t do clouds but the space caught me eye, both of them.

 

I was going for tree color and sky interaction here. Don’t focus too much on the drab looking road, I had to get there somehow.

 

Ok so I went crazy on one. I did not push the red!

 

While pedaling along I noticed a few beaver dams. Looks like those little critters are using concrete now. 

 

 

The snapshots are great but nothing like the pans to get a feel for what I saw. These are straight as shot, no pushing em.

 

If I breakdown and create a YouTube account I’ll push up some of the videos, otherwise I’ll just upload a few that can be downloaded then viewed.

Locks

This trip was slightly different. On a previous outing I had taken the camcorder and decided that this trip would be almost all camcorder with stills speckled in.

I’ll name the videos something meaningful so you can pull only those that may be of interest. Sorry still didn’t get around to YouTube.

The videos: Video of Trip 

 

This is one of two locks, the other is in the video only. I am guessing it is about 70 feet from top to bottom. I have no idea what that little crawl space is to the left of the entrance. Both locks had one.  

 

I am still struggling to figure out how a lock this high above the water level worked. I have to be missing something, unless the lock was a lot deeper and they backfilled it.

Here is a view of the back wall.

 

Anyone know what purpose this little tunnel served?

 

Some close ups. Someone went through a lot of trouble aligning those rocks.

 

Just some snapshots of a waterfall nearby.
