<p>Well, it's been a while since I've been on PN. Nice to see that Laura is still doing the Monday in Nature posts. A few weeks ago I got to revisit the Rio Celeste waterfalls with my new 10-stop ND filter.<br /> <a href=" src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/18228593-md.jpg" alt="" width="680" height="415" /></a></p>

<p>Siegfried,<br>

Welcome back. It's good to see you again. The water is an amazing color amid the greens. Maybe a good place for a swim?</p>

<p>From what I hear you used to be able to take a dip but now it's fenced off with "Do not enter" signs. The color really is surreal. If you go to the end of the trail you reach the spot where a underground spring mixes with the river and the chemical reaction takes place that creates the color. It goes from perfectly clear to opaque light blue in a matter of a few feet.</p>
