Description

This is the top section of Mohican Falls, on a gorgeous summer day. The photograph was captured from the Ganoga Glen Trail, standing on the narrow ledge that climbs above the waterfall. To me, this is one of the most awe-inspiring sections of the trails through the wilderness area of the glen. Mohican is located on the Ganoga Glen Trail in Ricketts Glen, just a short distance below Delaware Falls. The next "named" landmark down stream is Conestoga Falls.

Ricketts Glen State Park includes a wonderful natural wilderness area, with twenty-two officially identified waterfalls along the trails. The park is located in the north eastern region of Pennsylvania, USA. The nearest community to the park is the village of Red Rock. This popular destination is situated at the junction state routes RT-118 and RT-487.

This photo was taken on June 20th, 2014 with a Canon EOS 5D DSLR body, fitted with a Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L Zoom lens at the 17mm focal length. The shutter speed was 1.0 second at f/7.1, ISO 100, in RAW format. An ND-8 Neutral Density filter was used on the lens while the camera was mounted on a Manfrotto heavy duty tripod. A remote shutter release cable was used.

This image is presented "As-Is", just as the camera captured it. The shot was converted to JPEG from the camera RAW format, without editing or enhancements.
