Took another visit to Roaring Fork Falls located near the junction of NC80 and the Blue Ridge Parkway. After all the rain we've had recently, the falls were really flowing harder than I've ever seen. The water was quite high as well limiting where I could move around safely. The pace of the flow also created a draft which kept nearby leaves and branches moving. Not a good thing for long exposure photography. But it felt so good to get in a hike and practice with my new camera. I'll be heading up Hawksbill Mountain soon to try to catch the short-lived blooms on the Carolina Rhododendrons.

A macro photo taken to show the theme "Heat".
This involved heating up a fork on the hob flame and then spraying water over it to show steam.
I had originally hoped that I'd be able to capture the fork prongs while they were glowing red hot but this had ceased by the time I had got the fork into position.
I found 25 photos of it on Flickr.

Alice came to a fork in the road. 'Which road do I take?' she asked. 'Where do you want to go?' responded the Cheshire Cat. 'I don't know,' Alice answered. 'Then,' said the Cat, 'it doesn't matter.

The fork of vevey sits in lake Geneva Switzerland, the town is also the place where charlie Chaplin died. The fork was originally only a temporary exhibit but proved such a hit, was granted a permanent home in the town, it's a very surreal sight!
Underneath the waterfalls in the Right Fork of North Creek Canyon in Zion National Park. This canyon often gets overlooked due to its proximity to the much more popular Left Fork of North Creek (i.e. The Subway). It's a nice hike to this spot and chances are good you won't see anyone else.

UPDATE: Flickr Explore #60 for October 18th! Thank you everyone for the comments and good words; they are much appreciated!
Bring on the colors!! I was super excited to see the vibrancy of the yellows along Boone Fork Creek. Despite what many are calling a sub-par color show this season, Boone Fork Creek never lets me down! After an uneventful sunrise behind low hanging clouds seen atop Rough Ridge, I hiked back down, jumped in the truck, and motored to an access point where I could hike the creek bed of Boone Fork. I could have literally spent several days photographing just this little stretch--really incredible! I would highly recommend a short walk alongside Boone Fork if you're going to be in the Grandfather Mountain area this coming weekend...

NS C47 is finally approaching its terminus at South Fork after bringing coal loads up from Shade Creek Mine in Central City. This train caught me by complete surprise while exploring the area, but gave me a great introduction to the region and it’s operations. It’s difficult to get trains on this branch, and relies heavily on the “Go and get lucky” strategy.

Hey Flickr,
I´ve had a nice day :) When I was at school today, we saw an irish movie at the english lessons. And the irish accent sounds quite funny to me, for example the do not say "Sir" - it sounds more like "Sorr" :D
and what led me to this idea was their pronouncing of "f*ck" :D it actually really sounds like "fork" ;)
So after all this picture includes the steritype, that the irish pronounce english as hell ;)
So. what the fork: Stereotype # 5 :)
Have a nice day, Flickr! :)
A pair of EMD SD40s and GE C30-7s pull Union Pacific's Sharp, Utah to Valmy, Nevada coal train east by the Harriman era Spanish Fork, Utah depot on March 19, 1988. When UP closed the freight agency in the early-1970s, the building became the 'Brandt Hall' of the Old Timer's Club. Today, the old structure has sat abandoned and in disrepair for nearly four decades.
Almost every day I see the fork in the fence while I am walking my dog across the meadows. And I wonder where she comes from and what is she doing there?

There is one place where nearly everything that matters today in the world converges: our fork.

This beauty, sans his forked tail, was a life bird for me this day. A real rarity here in Central Florida. He/She lost its long, wonderful tail by the time I got to find him. Maybe predators, maybe accidentally, maybe part of a molt.
The Fork-tailed Flycatcher is a rare example of a neotropical resident species that strays regularly to the northeastern United States and Canada. Males have an extremely long forked tail, even longer than that of their cousin, the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher. Juveniles and females have shorter tails. This bird was first described by French ornithologist Louis Jean Pierre Vieillot.
Quite a bird for this old broad! Thank you, Jesus. Not the best shot, but for posterity ... and for His glory!

Animas Forks is located at 11,200 feet above sea level high in the hills of the San Juan Mountains along the Alpine Loop. It usually takes a 4-wheel-drive vehicle to conquer the unimproved roads to the ghost town. The mountain ghost town comes with a wealth of history. It was established as a mining town in the 1870s, prospered in the 1880s with more than 450 summer residents, and was abandoned by the 1920s.
Prospectors discovered gold and silver at Animas Forks in 1873. Colorado logistics magnate Otto Mears built a wagon road to this mining destination in 1875. Mears’ road ushered in all kinds of men seeking the mountain’s precious metals. Business and mining boomed until a fire in the hotel kitchen destroyed 14 buildings in October of 1891. Even though the town was rebuilt, it never fully recovered. The silver market crashed in 1893, and that drove even more folks out of town.
The town's silver mines near saw several ups and downs for the next few years. Mears extended the Silverton Northern Railroad to Animas Forks in 1904 and the city’s Prince Gold mill was built the same year. However, it only lasted until 1917 when the equipment was moved to Eureka. A faithful few men worked the gold and silver mines nearby until the 1920s, but falling metal prices drove the remaining miners away by the 1920s
