HAPPY BIRTHDAY wishes for Wayne (Whaleman) and Jean-Claude (Jean_C)
Thank you all for the many birthday greetings and yes, I am now 71 years old now.
To answer questions. The official information booklet states that 93-year-old Aunt Jess Guernsey was out in the woods fishing when she found the Flume Gorge. She must have been in great shape to have climbed up there 130 years ago.
This is a good look into the Flume Gorge itself. This photo was taken as we hiked up toward the source of the water. Inside the Gorge itself, with the roar of the water, I could not talk to the people that were there with me. All that water rushing through the narrow gorge was a thrill to see. Lots of mist in the air and we had to keep the camera lens covered while we were not taking photos.
Wikipedia says: The Flume Gorge is at the base of Mount Liberty in Franconia Notch State Park, New Hampshire, US. Cut by the Flume Brook, the gorge features walls of Conway granite that rise to a height of 70 to 90 feet (21 to 27 meters) and are 12 to 20 feet (3.7 to 6.1 meters) wide.
Thanks for stopping by, taking a look and for all your previous favs and comments.
They are very much appreciated.

great depth in this shot! looks like a scene out of Indiana Jones ;o)
Oh my goodness Dana this is an extraordinary photo of such an amazing place, I would love to paint a scene like this, maybe one day lol :D hope you and yours are ok, hugs Jane xx
Fantastic capture Dana. The people on the left give it scale. Looking at your picture one can hear the roar and feel the cool moisture. The boardwalk looks kind of flimsy, i would hate to fall in there. That 93-year old lady must have been some woman. As to your turning 71 - welcome to the club - I'm a couple of years ahead of you!
AWESOME ADVENTURE! I thought, I would never use this word, which young kids use a lot, but this describes it perfectly ... and of course - A BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO WAYNE AND JEAN-CLAUDE, sorry guys ... I was unaware of these upcoming celebrations, but is meant just as well ;)) BB
Awesome view and photoshot my friend.
I adore that place. I've been there several times :)
Such a fantastic photo and landscape, Dana. I love those places, which I only have seen in the south of Germany. And once in Yugoslavia. Very impressive, and people seem such small creatures there, huh?
What a fantastic view and shot,amazing place***********
