Ohiopyle State Park
Located primarily in Fayette County, Ohiopyle State Park encompasses about 19,052 acres of rugged natural beauty and serves as the gateway to the Laurel Mountains. The focal point of the area is the more than 14 miles of the Youghiogheny [yaw-ki-GAY-nee] River Gorge that passes through the heart of the park. The “Yough” [yawk] provides some of the best whitewater boating in the Eastern U. S. as well as spectacular scenery. Surrounding Ohiopyle Falls is the Falls Day Use Area, the central point for the casual visitor. This area provides parking, modern restrooms, gift shop/snack bar, and overlook platforms with magnificent scenery.
For those interested in architecture, this scene is about 10 minutes drive from the famous "Falling Water" house on Bear Run designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for the Kaufmann family of Pittsburgh, and about 1 hour's drive from that city.

Those lovely flat rocks in the foreground remind me a little of the Falling Water area. Nicely composed shot.

A very lovely waterscape and image.
Nicely composed with an excellent POV, great exposure, details, and colors.
