Morning #njnature hike to a lesser known #MorrisCounty open space. Nice rocky views of the New Jersey Highlands combined with some litter cleanup.

We parked on Miller Drive in Fayson Lakes and hiked in opposite the Green Acres sign post.

Tripod Rock is the most often photographed feature of this park and a formation which I rarely photograph. It is my opinion that creating dynamic nature images of rock formations is quite challenging.

My goal for this image was include the context of the foreground pine needles, the midground of the water, and background detail including both the treeline as well as the sky. That is a lot of elements to aline for one shot!

This shot was taking during a light drizzle and the main challenge was keeping the camera lens free of smudges.

Taken earlier this week. I local and younger Kinnelon hiker was heading up for the view just after I arrived. We had a friendly discourse of the pros and cons of social media after he snapped a shot of me taking this shot.
