Stone Valley Movement

This photo was taken at Stone Valley, a recreation area with a few miles of ADK trails on both sides of the river. The river here flows against the bedrock "grain" which can make interesting marks (like potholes) in the rock. Both sides along the river are heavily wooded. I find this photo interesting because of the contrast in trees - bright green where the sun is and almost black in the shadows. I also like how powerful the water looked at this waterfall.
