The Yellow Spring, Glen Helen Nature Preserve 
November 24, 2011
This spring is part of the legend of a Fountain of Youth in America. The waters are rich in iron and taste like blood. Originally the site of two hotels, people traveled here from as far as Europe to drink and bathe in waters reported to cure arthritis, anemia and most any ailment. Before settlers arrived the Amerindians visited here for the healing waters while at Chillicothe (now Old Town). Chillocothe meant "Principal Place" in Shawnee and was the home village of the residing chief and this Chillicothe was the birthplace of Chief Tecumseh. In the last century,

Italian mason Carmelo Riccardi crafted the falls to look like a natural formation. The gold creekbed is the result of the oxidized iron. Once the town of Yellow Springs tried to use the water as the municipal water supply, but it rusted the pipes and stained the porcelain sinks.

This was shot with a Sanyo Xacti on a monopod. Surprisingly it came out in reasonable focus, even at a full second exposure.
