Sandstone Falls, Sunset

After a long day of hiking the New River Gorge in West Virginia, I had just enough time and energy to catch a sunset at Sandstone Falls. You could feel the raw elemental power of nature here with the roar of the water and many downed trees from beaver activity. A rock island juts out near the falls allowing you to essentially stand right on top of water. The light of the afternoon had been harsh, but the afterglow of sunset hitting the autumn colored hills softened the scene. I shot until last light, and drive home exhausted but enthralled with the beauty of these old wild hills.
