I've visited the French River Falls just north of Highway 61 right outside of Duluth a couple times in the last couple weeks, however it wasnt until last night that I managed to get the image I was looking for. As usual, it was kind of a rushed ordeal to get out there, but when all was said and done I was taking pictures by 7:30. I like this time of day for pictures in the woods because the shadows that have been hanging around all day have disappeared for another night.
This particular spot on the French River has an especially "natural" feel to it, despite it's proximity to the highway. Climbing down in between the rock walls surrounding the river rewards you with a temperature drop of nearly 10 degrees. The giant pine trees that loom over your head and the rushing sound of the river make you forget the Highway is less than 100 yards behind you.
Here's one of the images I made of the French River Falls that day - the rest can be found in my North Shore Waterfalls gallery.
