Roark Bluff above Buffalo River

Steel Creek Access, Buffalo National River, Arkansas

Steel Creek 2

This is one of my favorite places in Arkansas.  Roark Bluff, in the distance, actually towers hundreds of feet above the Buffalo River below.  On this fall morning, I made my way down to the river as I had many times before.  But this time, I found these star shaped Sweet Gum leaves dispersed among the rocks sweeping around  the end of this large pool on the river.  I used my widest lens so that I could get close to the foreground while including Roark Bluff and the fall foliage in the background.
