Purgatory Falls

Purgatory brook is a pretty large waterway in south-central NH and used to have a large sawmill just below these falls. At the falls (behind the granite and out of sight in the shot) are the remains of a mill-pond dam. The mill burned down in the 60s and now is part of conservation land. I'd never explored it before and was amazed with a perfect day -
Lower Purgatory Falls -
Where the brook gets wide and the mountain laurel is everywhere -
Just after a major split in the brook where the laurel is even denser -
All done on a bright, overcast day just after rain so the colors were intense. E-30, ZD 12-60mm, travel tripod, polarizer and ND filters. I'm definitely going to reshoot when the mountain laurel blooms (pale pink flowers). thanks for taking a peek.

If you saw my attempt at Lemmon Creek here in Southern Arizona all I had to work with was a small trickle through a rock crack.

Thanks again for the guidance.

I didn't have an ND filter yet, so just used the polarizer and shot before the sun crested the trees on an overcast day. Checking the shot after I took it let me see whether I'd caught a full enough rotation or not. Luckily I had since I had to stop down to f18 already at ISO 100. Phew!
