"Green Frame Cascades"

Photo courtesy of Mac Danzig. The Canadian province of British Columbia is home to some of the world's most magnificent scenery, and today's picture by photographer Mac Danzig treats us to a small, but very beautiful sample of it. The Green Frame Cascades are located in one of Canada's most popular parks: Goldstream Provincial Park on southern Vancouver Island. Thousands of visitors come each year to experience the beauty of the area's old-growth temperate rain forest where you can walk among massive Douglas Fir and Western Red Cedar trees as well as a plethora of lush ferns, mosses and other plants. And of course the Goldstream River's annual salmon run draws thousands more. This place truly is a nature lover's paradise! Mr. Danzig captured this gorgeous image with a Canon EOS 5D Digital SLR equipped with a 17-40 F4 L lens. The settings used were as follows: Exposure: 8 seconds Aperture: F/16 ISO: 50 Focal length: 40mm Be sure to visit www.macdanzigphotography.com where you'll find lots more of Mac's amazing images.   Click here to comment on this picture.   Visit the POTD Archives for previous "Pictures Of The Day"!     Submit a photo of your own!            Why I publish the "Picture of the Day"
