Description

Autumn Cedars At Bond Falls by Dale Kauzlaric -- I went to Bond Falls for the fall color. As I was driving north, I hit fog. I liked the thought of the even light on the water. But when I got within 5 miles of the park, the fog lifted and the sun was out. I knew it would make for tough shooting conditions with the sunshine and shade from the trees. Here, I was on the sun side of the river amongst some cedars in the deep shade. A opening in the cedars gave me a good look at these falls. I really like the reflections in this scene, blue on the right from the blue sky and yellow on the left from the colored leaves.

Bond Falls is a 50 foot waterfall from the outflow of Bond Falls Flowage located a few miles east of Paulding in Ontonagon County, Michigan. The falls is part of the middle branch of the Ontonagon River in this western portion of the Upper Peninsula or UP of Michigan. The river above the falls is beautiful with its many cascades and rapids. Bond Falls is named for Oliver S. Bond, who once owned the property. Bond Falls Flowage was created in 1940, when a dam was built on the river. A small sawmill town named Calderwood was flooded in the formation of the flowage. Bond Falls Park is a very popular tourist landmark. Bond Falls Park is a Michigan State Scenic Site. This is the best single waterfall in the western UP and the second best waterfall in Michigan. The park has a boardwalk surrounding the lower falls making this area very accessible. The river above the lower falls is accessible on both sides for those who like to climb the trails. -- dalekphotography.com
