Taum Sauk Mountain/Lower Reservoir

In the afternoon on the second day of my trip, I went back to Taum Sauk Mountain. This time I only went about 3/4 mile down the Mina Sauk Falls Trail to a place where there was a big opening. I setup my tripod and got some shots of the mountainside and LOTS of fall colors. I also used the fisheye lens on a few shots to get a really wide view. I was going to try to get some aerial shots but the wind was too high that day. I finished up the day at the Ameren Lower Reservoir. I found a decent spot to get some sunset shots but by that time the cloud cover had gotten too thick. I did some creative editing but the sunset shots were not quite what I wanted them to be.
