Porters Creek, Greenbrier



Porters Creek is in the Greenbrier section of the National Park. The trail to Fern Falls crosses the creek several times. We hiked the trail in May when the greenery along the trail was freshly grown.

This view struck me as we were hiking to the falls and upon the return, it was an irresistible photo opportunity (and, as usual, I ended up making us later for dinner).

The digital color image is quite different from the black and white image. The color image is so Wizard of Oz (emerald green) that it overwhelms the palette. The black and white image, on the other hand, captures the tonal relationships in a way the color could not.
