Walking around Taughannock Falls New York State Park on the solstice of 2019 starting from the Black Diamond trail head on Jackson Road, down the South Rim trail, up the North Rim Trail. We had a great deal of rain this week and the water filled the falls the full channel width.
The header photograph is a waterfall of Fillmore Glen, also in the Finger Lakes.
For a full screen view, click on the UTube icon, lower right of the video panel. The resolution is not very good so I also posted the source videos.
The movie is from the following videos and photos from my IPhone. The quality is better than the compilation video. I uploaded the following videos directly to WordPress. I was not able to get the “full view” icon to work on my browser. Enjoy
Click on any of the photographs for a larger view.



A turkey vulture soars by towards the end of the following.

Pretty. Thanks for that — I don’t have direct access to waterfalls so that was nice.

Well done with the videos and movie, Michael. The ant-people and the last video are great. My daughter and SIL just came back from Iceland with photos and videos of waterfalls. I love waterfalls.

What impressed us about Patagonia were the number of amazing waterfalls associated with the glaciers.

I can see that, Michael. As the snow melts faster, the waterfalls are more spectacular! Not that we want the snow melts fast!!

We appreciate the three state parks close to Ithaca plus others a little farther away, still a day trip.

The gorges and deep lakes are gifts of ice age glaciers.

Ah. The finger lakes area. My wife and I visited Seneca Lake last year but I think there is much more we can explore. We will have to make another visit.

There is so much more. Suggestion: make a list of State Parks and plan around them.
