Hocking-Hills-State-Park-OH

Hocking Hills State Park is located in Ohio, just south of Columbus.

More rivulets along the way to Old Man’s Cave

The tree and moss close-up distorts the perspective of the rock walls and path beyond.

Playing the lighting game, notice how the flash brings attention to the foreground (yet falls are there too).

Tree roots from cypress will grow on rocks, but then the tree falls over easily in wind.

I saw a “professional” photographer shoot this, so had to include it as well. The shadows of sunset on the rock was really something.

Stream flows in little pockets along the way.

Gorgeous sights along the path to Old Man’s Cave

The ferns and plants growing on the rock are very healthy due to plenty of rain during Spring.

What water does to sandstone over time….

What the water (or ocean?) does to soft rock

Here, the flash was not used, leaving the foreground naturally lit (and colored).

Last of the Old Man’s Cave walking photos

On the way to Cedar Creek Falls – look at the almost “painted effect” of the rock face cliffs beyond the trees. It was an almost prehistoric sight.
