Cedar creek falls in the late afternoon. The foreground shows the pool of water with ripples and incredible golden reflections of the canyon walls.

At the End of the Waterfall | Cedar Creek Falls, Ramona

Cedar Creek Falls is bathed in a warm golden light from the afternoon sun. The light is reflected onto the canyon walls and in the ripples in the pool of water at the base of the falls.

The Story Behind the Photo

When I hiked out to Cedar Creek Falls, I initially thought I may have picked the wrong day. It was during spring break and there were quite a few people swimming when I arrived and then a large group of high school boys came a bit later. The boys were jumping in the water -- normally I would be annoyed but I noticed that the splashes caused the funnel shaped pattern of reflections and I took advantage of it for a foreground shot.

Note: the hike is 6 miles round-trip with about 1000' of elevation gain and no shade. It wasn't hot when I went so the hike wasn't bad but it can be brutal with high temperatures (people have been airlifted out).

Acrylic Fine Art Print with a Float Mount — Ready to Hang

Trulife Acrylic Fine Art Print

This is a photographic print where the front has been directly adhered to a sheet of TruLife acrylic which is an ultra clear, scratch resistant, and anti-reflective glazing. This process is known as face mounting. The acrylic captures light internally and bounces it off the surface of the print resulting in a display with incredible depth and vibrancy. With proper lighting, the acrylic print will appear to have light emanating from the image itself. The back of the print is sealed with another layer of protective acrylic.

The print comes ready to hang with hidden mounting hardware on the back that makes the print appear as if it is floating in front of the wall. No additional framing is needed. Choose this medium for a modern and minimalist presentation.

Print is signed on the back.

Please allow 4-6 weeks for production and delivery of your print. The prices include U.S. shipping, please inquire for international rates.
