Soft morning light illuminates the Upper Falls, a natural limestone- and cypress-lined swimming hole at McKinney Falls State Park in Austin, TX. McKinney Falls is a hidden gem in Austin, providing 700 acres of wilderness just 15 minutes from the downtown hubbub. Usually crowded with park-goers, the Upper Falls is pristine and peaceful in the early morning. Taken on June 15, 2013 with a Nikon D7000 and 18-55mm f.3.5-5.6 Nikkor lens. Click photo to enlarge.
