ku # 650-53 ~ looking down, not up at Taughannock Falls

To be perfectly honest I found the 3/4 mile walk along the trail to Taughannock Falls to be considerably more interesting than the falls itself. That was due in part to the fact that the water level was rather low so the stream bed was very exposed in spots which revealed interesting shapes/patterns, colors, detritus, geological features / details, and the like.

That said, some might get the "insider" joke, photography-wise, that is part of the triptych - the picture on the left is my take on the ubiquitous / cliche-ridden / done-to-death / hope-I-never-see-another-one pictures of the moving rocks at death Valley's Racetrack Playa.

That was my first thought viewing the image.
