A quick trip to western Ma today searching for waterfalls with the dogs.

I realize my days might be too busy if a day that felt slow was: a confirmation session at the studio, an engagement session at Hopedale Pond, a failed trip to Boston for a special shoot that is delayed til next month due to horrible traffic (anyone else sit on 90 for far too long today?), a birthday party for Dan and a quick stop at the park… like I said slow day.

the dailypic 3190 yr9 2619 Kinsman Globe
I have photographed Kinsman Falls in Lincoln, NH more than any other waterfall. A simple falls, that is one of my favorite spots. More on history and memories than the falls itself. We spent a lot of time in NH when I was a kid, and I take my kids up often. Kinsman is just above the Basin, which was a popular stop on our trips. Every time I make the half mile trek up, it always looks different. This time I took the drone and a crystal ball. I have had this ball for years, for photos. Not sure why, but for the first time I threw it in the bag for this trip, glad I did. The drone was a challenge, lots of trees, I did the ‘small planet’ shot for the first time from a low altitude. I think it looks cool, love the trees reaching out. I am sure I will be back up there again before too long.

the dailypic 3188 yr9 2617 Pumpkinseed Bridge
Stopped a cool spot in NH today, Livermore Falls. Waterfall, remnants of an old power plant and a broken bridge called the Pumpkinseed. The few people that were there were jumping into the Pemi River. Though cool to see, after looking up some info on the spot, jumping there has led to some recent tragedies. Will make it back for more photo, and maybe the beach with the dogs, leave the jumping to the rebels.

Iceland Thursday – this week, the mighty Dettifoss in North East Iceland. 330 ft wide, 144 ft tall and is considered the most powerful waterfall in Europe. The glacier water is almost gray from sediment and it is loud. It was used in the opening scene of Prometheus as an alien planet. We visited the west side, to access you drive through miles of barren land that looks like I assume Mars would look. All dirt, dust and rocks, the type of road that rattles parts of your car off. All worth it for the view.

Day two of the Iceland adventure, literally a perfect day. It was day one on the road, driving through towns I can’t pronounce, forget spell. I have enough pictures to fill “dailypics” for a few months, we saw continental divides, geysers, rivers, churches, waterfalls, craters, horses, the coastline, had one of the best meals I have ever had in a restaurant, drove one of the coolest roads I have ever been on, I am staying in the nicest hotel I ever stayed in…. and then at 11pm, after the kids were asleep, Barbie and I took a quick hike and accidentally found the coolest spot I have ever been in my life, at the end of an already perfect day. After all that, this is the photo I share with you, taken at that spot, because without her, I would not had seen any of the other things listed. Off to sleep, because this was only day 2.
