I took this early this summer after we had gotten a ton of rain. It was taken at Falls Park in Sioux Falls.This section here is actually very small, the highest rock only coming up to about my knee, and is usaully just dry rock. I went looking for it a couple months later and had a hard time finding it without the water running over it.

Falls Park is a section of the Big Sioux River right in the middle of the city. The entire park is covered in pink rock (looks grey in the picture because it's wet) and forms the falls. There used to be an old mill there, but now it's just a tourist trap. It's still a nice place to go though, even though I live here.

I normally don't like taking pictures of the falls because it's so overdone around here, but after rain this summer there were so many little waterfalls that popped up. I had to get pictures. I was originally searching for a reference for a painting though, so most of those won't ever be posted.

Yes, I upped the contrast on this quite a bit. I was just playing around, but I didn't do enough to really call it a manip. I just really felt like uploading something.
