Ice Cone at Ash Cave ASH CAVE

The top and bottom have actually met, but not in recent years. This got a lot closer, probably within 4' of each other.

Ash Cave Sun Streaks ASH CAVE

When there is Sun and water, it makes for a nice effect.

Ash Cave Misty Trail ASH CAVE

Taken after heavy rain just before Christmas.

Ash Cave Panoramic ASH CAVE

From the rim entrance. I don't often shoot in the sun out here.

The Wall Of Ash Cave ASH CAVE

This is some of my newest Ash Cave work, I like to get shots I've never done, the wide angle helps in that respect.

Ice Cone ASH CAVE

The later shot of the cone that collapsed 2 days later. Sorry about the double signature.

Misty Trail at Ash Cave ASH CAVE

Following two days of steady rain I was able to run out at the first hint of sun and was greeted with this amazing scene. Shot in December.

Ash Cave , A Wide View ASH CAVE

This was from a series of test shots with a 10MM ultra-wide lens. I'm liking it.

Ash Cave, From Inside ASH CAVE

This is deceiving, rather 2 1/2 D looking. The cave is one continuous formation-looks like separate formations. Look real hard.

Lone Hiker ASH CAVE

I normally try not to get people in my shots, but I really like the mood this projects. Ash Cave

Platinum effect emulating a process used from 1873-1920. The high cost of the process led to its demise.

For years this was my best shot of Cantwell Cliffs. It was easy enough to take, from my car window. It's what I call a drive-by shooting.

Exit This Way, Cantwell Cliffs CANTWELL CLIFFS

Beautiful rock cliffs lead the way out from the falls area.
