Springtime at Haw Creek Falls in the Arkansas Ozarks–Click on image for a larger view

Taken with a Phase One IQ160, Rodenstock 28mm Lens, F11, iso50, for approx 1 second. If you like to spend time in the Arkansas Ozarks, but don’t want to be too far away from Little Rock, then consider Haw Creek Falls.  With the new policies from the National Park, and Arkansas State Parks, you never know when the adjoining campground will be open, however if the gate is closed, feel free to walk around it and head to the falls.  You can also access the falls from the Hwy 123 side of the creek.  Haw Creek is one of the classic ledge drops that are famous throughout the Arkansas Ozark mountains.  Here the creek drops over a ledge that is about 6 to 7 feet tall and has a interesting break in the middle where the watercourse changes directions.  I like to photograph Haw Creek many times during the year and on this day I caught it about as good as it gets with just enough water in the creek and a just darn near perfect sky and no WIND!  It takes about 1.5 to 2 hours to get to Haw Creek and it’s well worth the drive.  This photograph will be shown in Cantrell Gallery for the next few months please stop by and take a look if you get a chance.
