Beautiful area. The exposure of #5 makes that one a stand out for me.

they're huge! Fantastic shots.

Can you explain what the seemingly random pot-holes are?

im not totaly sure, but since i think alot of the weird textures there where formed by glaciers i would say that they had something to do with it. if i get a chance i will do a search and see what i can come up with. they definatly make for an intersting subject.

I believe they are actually called potholes. They are formed over many years by erosion. When the water picks up pebbles and other particles and they are swirled in the same spot. Eventually they dig out little holes that get bigger and bigger over hundreds and thousands of years.

As for the pictures, I love #4 with as mentioned pothole as the main foreground subject.

Wow these are great pictures... There is actually another Buttermilk falls in Sussex county NJ too that is really nice too.

Awesome. I don't know which one to pick up. I say all of them are excellent. tfs.

Wow, what amazing locations! these are good considering the conditions, number four is my favorite, those potholes are great. As you said it dosen't look like the best of days. I would love to see you reshoot these spots on a clear day with good light. Nice work :thumbup:
