On 27 January I went off to my favorite place to check out my new camera. The sun was low in the sky and directly behind me, as a consequence the odd pic has my shadow, it was either shadow or nothing. Waterfalls on my way up to the lake so I had to take them. The lake is actually 1330 feet above sea level, luckily you can drive part of the way!

Falls.....won't run on firefox.
