Description Golitha Falls in Cornwall is an area of ancient woodland through which the River Fowey tumbles dramatically as it drops down from Bodmin Moor towards the coast. The river runs through a valley strewn with huge boulders forming the Falls themselves. The whole valley is thickly wooded and is often very humid, with its own micro-climate. The result is that most of the boulders and trees are cloaked in a thick growth of moss, which lends a sense of 'secret world' mystery to the place.

Nice shot

Did you know that you can change the look of the water by slowing down or speeding up the shutter speed, if you did, please down take offense.

Yeah I did know, but thanks for the tip. I didn't have my tripod with me that day, so didn't have much control (the light was really poor, it doesn't show in the photos).

This reminds me of a trip I took to Oregon way back when I was little.

Thanks! Yes it's a wonderful place. Looking at your shots of Golitha, looks like we had similar weather. The light in there is really tricky for photography.
