Another vantage point to take in Lower Eden Falls from at Lost Valley in Arkansas. In the other shot of these falls that I posted previously I was getting quite wet under an overhang that is outside of this shot on the right. It was much drier at this point allowing me a little more time to compose the shot without getting soaked.
I could hear these waterfalls from the trail as we were hiking back to the van, but I could not see them. There was a little bit of a trail that others had forged over to these same falls, but it was definitely not on the main trail. As I got myself into position in this rocky crag, all I could think was this was probably a really good area for snakes and if it was any warmer, I don't think this would be a good place to be. Unless of course you like snakes. :-) I took several long exposures continue to be on the look out for any snakes coming to check on me. Never saw a snake, but I felt good with my final result of capturing this small, unnamed (to my knowledge) waterfall in Lost Valley.
My wife and I hiked down into this hollow when we were in Arkansas in March. The Qui VaLa Elise Falls are somewhere up this stream, but the going was a little rougher than either of us were prepared to slug through. So I looked around trying to find an image of the area that I was willing to venture too. After a precarious creek crossing where I tried not to dip myself or my camera equipment in the water, I found this spot. I moved around until I found the angle I liked and was able to come away with this shot. Maybe next time I'll venture further up the creek to find the waterfall, but this was enough adventure for me for that day.
