The Story Behind This Shot

A closer look at the falls at Hanging Lake in Glenwood Canyon, Colorado, where water slips over a mossy limestone wall in a dozen thin ribbons and settles into the green pool below. A slow shutter turns each strand into soft white silk against the rough, honey-colored rock. Minerals in the water slowly build the travertine shelf the falls pour over, which is why the lake is protected so carefully. A detailed, textured waterfall print that rewards a close look.
