Triberg Waterfall - Perched in the pine-clad hills of the high Black Forest, Triberg is home to Germany's highest waterfall, where the Gutach river plummets 162 metres through granite rock, slicing its path through dense forest and cascading into a series of seven crystal-clear pools. Visitors can admire the waterfall from the bottom, or follow the zigzagging Kaskadenweg trail over wooden bridges and past moss-covered rocks to the top. Beware, the path gets steeper the further you climb and is slippery when wet!

See more work by Ed Org HERE. About Ed OrgBorn in Shropshire in 1955, Ed had an idyllic childhood among woods, fields, secret pools and ruined barns, which helped fire his imagination for mythological work. In the 1970s Ed undertook a Foundation course at Shrewsbury College of Art, and then completed a Fine Art degree at Cheltenham College of Art, with his final degree show based on "The Lord of the Rings".Until the early 90s Ed worked as a graphic designer in the advertising industry, and then in 1993 he chose to follow his heart and leave safe employment to pursue his own path, and started to create personal works on a mythological theme in watercolour and intricate pencil drawings. He is influenced by his favourite artist, Edward Burne-Jones, but also the book illustrators, Arthur Rackham, Willy Pogany, Russell Flint, Charles Robinson, and others. The landscapes of Devon, the Lake District and local woodland are a feature in many of his pieces. His larger works can take up to 18 months to complete. Ed also produces open and limited edition prints of many of his works.Ed has undertaken numerous commissions, the most notable being several corporate designs for the Wychwood Brewery including 'Hobgoblin', 'Black Wych' and 'Fiddler's Elbow'.Ed has a strong following and many collectors across the UK and abroad.Obsidian has been showing Ed's work since we first opened in 2002, and we now showcase his work in an annual solo show.
