Landscape
A side angle of Alpha Falls at McConnells Mill State Park in western Pennsylvania. A narrow stream of water flows along a rocky outcropping, creating a fan-like effect before running over the large rock below. Added to the collection on 2/2/2019 CAMERA RICOH IMAGING COMPANY, LTD.

This photo was taken on a foggy morning in North Park, PA (Allegheny County). I was fortunate enough to be able to get a chance to go on a quick hike before work on this day. Quite a bit of my photographs from North Park during September are taken here at Skyline trail as I tended to gravitate toward this field once the goldenrod bloomed. There are a few other shots from this same morning that I have posted, but I only recently developed this one when going back through my archives.
This Autumn photograph was taken at Ohiopyle State Park along the Meadow Run Cascade trail. Despite being late in the season, a lot of the leaves on the trees were still green. However, the ones that had fallen and turned orange created a nice color contrast with the lush greenery.
Located just after the natural slides, this section of Meadow Run calms down considerably before emptying into the Youghiogheny river. My goal in this shot was to capture the depth and tranquility of the scene and make it feel like you were walking down the same path.
Fountain of Youth at North Park
The Fountain of Youth at North Park (Allegheny County, PA) is a somewhat hidden feature on the West side of the park. There is no sign or parking lot, but it is pretty easy to get to once you know where it is. While there no longer is a water pump inside (due to being deemed insufficient for human consumption), it is still a neat place to check out. Here is an old newspaper article talking about its closure: https://goo.gl/kfNchQ
