This is a third photo of Nojoqui Falls near Solvang, CA. As I mentioned in a previous image, even though the falls were a mere trickle, the surrounding environment was lush.

Debbie posted some more information in a previous post’s comments stating that there are four different types of fern growing in the mineral-rich water. In this photo I attempted to capture a vibrant and dramatic representation of this lush environment.

Photo taken with a Nikon D40x in Solvang, CA. Post in Capture NX2.
