Today is the first day of autumn 2020. The air temperature dropped to the high 30’s and with river water temperature is still relatively warm in mid-60’s that means a good chance of seeing river mist coming out of the water. I made a special […]

Two Herons at the Great Falls
We used to see many great blue herons at the Great Falls in the summer. But not anymore, I wonder may be there is not much fish in the river any longer! A few years ago I was lucky to capture these sequential shots of […]
Great Falls in Black and White
Great Falls of Potomac is one of my favorite photo spots in the Washington, DC area. The rocks are in grey and black color (except during morning sun) so it’s ideal for B&W photographs.
Fall Scenes along C&O Canal near Great Falls
I took a walk on towpath along Chesapeake & Ohio (C&O) Canal at the Great Falls Park yesterday morning to capture some beautiful fall scenes.
Misty Great Falls of the Potomac River
The air temperature dipped to mid-40’s (7-8 degrees C.) while the water temperature in the River stayed in mid-70’s this morning. With temperature difference of about 30 degrees F. there is always good chance of seeing river mist (fog), so I decided to get up […]
Great Blue Herons at the Great Falls of Potomac River
Great blue herons are beautiful birds and I love photographing them. Great to see them back to the Great Falls this summer.
More Misty Great Falls
After sorting out all the pictures I took at the Great Falls yesterday morning, I found a few more I like and would like to share them with you. The soft morning light was a magic here.

It was a very cold morning at the Virginia Side of the Great Falls Park at 19 degree F. (-9 degrees C.) last Saturday. We were hoping to see some river mist at the Falls but did not see much. The scenery, however is still […]
Misty Great Falls – 3
I have taken so many misty Great Falls images over the years and yet never get tired of this nature beauty. You see, even with the same river background, the morning river mist and sunlight could transform them into a total different landscape. The mist […]
Great Falls of Potomac River, Virginia
I took my Nikon Coolpix P900 camera out to the Great Falls this morning. This camera considered as a high-end Point and Shoot by some people, has an amazing 28-2000 mm range of focus length (35mm film camera equivalent). Instead of lugging a heavy telephoto zoom lens […]
