Dave's Falls Marinette County-Time lapse

On my second day in Marinette County, WI, I stopped at Dave's Falls first thing in the morning. As usual, this early I had the park to myself. The sun was bright and shining directly on the waterfall, not happy about that, but it was still a beautiful morning.
Dave's Falls is located south of Amberg, Wisconsin and is a County park that charges $3.00 a day to visit the waterfalls in the County.

Fumee Falls Dickinson County, Michigan-timelapse

In the town of Quinnesec, Michigan there is a roadside waterfall called Fumee Falls. Named after it's water source Fumee Lake, which is about a mile upstream. This is a multi step waterfall with the upper falls being viewed from a platform above the main falls. The area around the falls is marked no trespassing due to previous extreme footwear causing a collapse of the rocks. This makes shooting the upper falls in a single shot practically impossible. Also, there is an ugly sign right in the way, too.
I have driven through this area a few years back and stopped at the falls only to find it running with a low water flow.

Long Slide Falls-Marinette, County Wisconsin

My second waterfall of the day was Long Slide Falls. The waterfall is down river from Smalley Falls. I have been to Long Slide before but was not able to get to the lower area due to stormy weather. This day was different with a blazing sun burning through the trees causing me exposure problems. Climbing down to the lower section can be quite difficult so if you take on the task, be careful.

Smalley Falls Marinette County, Wisconsin-time lapse

I have visited the waterfalls of Marinette County, Wisconsin in 2011 during the summer heat wave, this time I returned with slightly cooler weather and a blazing sun. In some of the footage you will see the shadows moving in and out of the scene creating a quite a task during the editing process. The water level was a a little higher and faster this time around keeping me from getting in the river to get shots of the falls.
