Description
Carved by Brandywine Creek, the 65-foot falls demonstrates classic geological features of waterfalls. A layer of hard rock caps the waterfall, protecting softer layers of rock below. In this case, the top layer is Berea Sandstone. The softer layers include Bedford and Cleveland shales, soft rocks formed from mud found on the sea floor that covered this area 350-400 million years ago. Shale is thinly chunked, giving water a bridal veil appearance as it cascades down the falls.
A combination of boardwalk and steps brings you into the waterfall's gorge and lets you view the waterfall head-on (a boardwalk option without stairs is also available). The boardwalk also provides a close look at Berea Sandstone. Careful inspection will reveal the individual grains of sand that accumulated in a sea 320 million years ago.
I photographed this image of Brandywine Falls at Cuyahoga Valley National Park using a 2 sec. exposure with a 18-105 lens mountde on a Canon 60D with a variable neutral density filter set at 8 (of 10). I was on the bordwalk walking down. This was the first full view of the falls I saw where I could photograph the falls from top to bottom. I used a focal length of 34mm, wide enought to include all the features of the falls. The falls in this image are framed with the greenery of trees overhanging the gorge below. The early morning light brings a warmth to the image, a glow of warmth is calming in the sight of the power of the waterfall itself.
