This photo is of DeSoto Falls in DeSoto State Park, located in northeast Alabama. This area is the last vesitages of the Appalachian Mountains. While not nearly as dramatic as the huge mountains out West, the terrain in Northeast Alabama is rolling and beautiful. The Little River, which flows over DeSoto Falls, flows for a few miles and then into Littl River Canyon….one of the deepest gorges east of the Mississippi.
DeSoto Falls is one of my favorite places. At 104-feet tall, it’s the second tallest waterfall in Alabama, but certainly one of the most impressive. I feel a sense of awe when I visit DeSoto and particularly love it when the water is roaring over the falls after a good rain.
I shot this photo with a Nikon D80 and a Sigma 10-20mm lens. This is a 1 second exposure, shot at f.14 and a 12mm focal length. I wanted to give a wide view of the falls and the pool/canyon below.
If you ever find yourself in North Alabama, I highly recommend a visit.
