The rugged shoreline near the rock formation known as Indian Head shows evidence of the destruction caused by Michigan's wicked winters. Although not as obvious from this angle, Indian Head is named because the rock formation resembles an Indian's head. Many major rockfalls have happened over the years and one of those major rockfalls can been seen to the right of Indian Head.
Slate River Falls on the you guessed it; Slate River is one of my favorite Michigan waterfalls. It is also the hardest or rather most adventurous waterfalls to get to in my option in Michigan. You have two options; brave the 150 foot steep hill or walk up the river bed itself. We opted for the river and although it was cold, it was well worth the adventure and sights. Each bend in the river seemed to have different types, colors and textures of stones.
I love getting in the water to photograph waterfalls and the more and more I did it I started to notice the beauty of a waterfall was more than just the falls itself. Sometimes the pool or shoreline would have sharp jagged rocks, some would have small colorful pebbles and some would have a sandy bottom. I loved the ideal that I could display what I was feeling under my feet. So after a year of planning and practice I came away with this idea and shot. It is something that I have never seen done before but loved that I could show you both the bottom and topside of the waterfall.
