I attended a small landscape workshop (two participants plus photographer) near Jasper Arkansas last week. It was nice to get into surroundings different from my everyday experience. These are a few shots from that workshop and a couple extra days I stayed in the area immediately afterward.
Cloud layers inside the “Arkansas Grand Canyon” on AR 7 south of Jasper – There was a low cloud layer in the valley and in town. On bottom, dull and grey; on top, bright and sunny.
Twin Falls near Ponca, AR -- Despite the name, a massive storm several years ago rearranged Twin Falls into three streams. It's at the end of a nice short hike.
Covered Bridge Falls, Ponca, AR -- Although there's a true covered bridge directly above this shot, I thought this viewpoint was more interesting.
Eden Falls in Lost Valley State Park near Ponca, AR -- This is a beautiful little waterfall, with dappled sunlight making its nearly-vertical way down into the falls. However, there's a pair of ~2m tall boulders right in front of the falls, severely limiting the photo vantage points.
Tougher than me! -- This tree is watching over Sam's Throne, AR.

) on the central western edge of Arkansas. Whereas the Ozark Mountains (my previous location) are more of "hill hill hill hill" everywhere you look -- kinda like highly magnified leather -- the Ouachitas tend to be slightly larger and run more in ranges. I was able to take a few shots, nothing earth-shattering. But I had only one evening after dinner and one morning, starting well after sunrise. All were shot with my Canon T8i / 850D and either a Sigma 17-70 f/2.8-4.5 DC Macro or a Canon EF 70-200L f/4 USM. They were processed with ART 1.20 and Affinity Photo 2.1.
