Tennessee has a good many State Parks. I am more likely to go to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park or the Big South Fork National Recreation Area than anywhere, but I’ve wanted to see Cummins Falls, the centerpiece of Cumins Falls State Park, for some time and a few months ago managed to get over there. I was not disappointed. This is HDR, two shots combined in Aurora HDR, my new favorite HDR program.

I have not been back to visit Cumins Falls for some time, but I did revisit my last shoot there and found this capture to be a good candidate for conversion to black and white. So that's what I did.
Southern Indiana's repowered Alco S2M #103 shoves its short train into the CSX interchange at Jeffersonville. The SIND was a unique little shortline comprised almost entirely of former interurban trackage. They pretty much existed to switch one customer, the large Heidelberg cement plant in Speed, IN. Operations changed, and the Louisville & Indiana now serves the plant, making the SIND essentially redundant. The railroad has since shut down and its pair of Alcos are for sale, last I heard.
CM3313 and CM3304 pick up speed as they head North away from Table Top towards Gerogery with 4MC7 to Junee.

Back in 2003 on the isolated 3'6' (1067mm) gauge network on South Australia's Eyre Peninsula, up to three grain trains per day operated to numerous country area silo locations.
On 3 September 2003, the large bunker complex (out of sight to the left) at Cummins north of Port Lincoln saw two trains on the same day. Australia Railroad Group Alco DL531s 873/850/865 have pulled forward from the bunker siding and now wait for DA6/869/851 to propel their train into the siding, so they can then run around and head south to Port Lincoln.
The locos carry Australia Southern Railroad logos, but by this time the Genesee & Wyoming subsidiary was know as Australian Railroad Group.

Cummins fringed tulips are best suited for hardiness zones three through eight. The blooms of this fringed beauty are approximately four inches in width, and the fringed flowers reach a maximum height of about eighteen inches.
Even though I had been to Cummins Falls a couple of times, I had never brought my camera along until this past weekend.
I took a rather dangerous shortcut to get down to this level (something I would recommend against if you have a medium-sized backpack on your back and are carrying a large tripod case). One small misstep would have meant being life flighted out of the area. I'm glad that misstep didn't happen. The next time I'll likely take the safer (but significantly longer and more time consuming) route.
If I had waited another hour or two to go to the falls, then the cliff face to the right of the falls would have been lit by the sun. I think that would have been ideal. Unfortunately, I had plans that afternoon and had to compromise by getting to the falls earlier (around 2pm).
It was relatively crowded this day and got steadily more crowded the longer I stayed. This image was one of the few that didn't have several people in the foreground.
Cummins Falls State Park
Cookeville, TN
The waterfalls is in Jackson County. It has a Cookeville address, but Cookeville is actually in Putnam County.
Cummins Falls State Park is an idyllic, but rugged, 211-acre day-use park located nine miles north of Cookeville on the Blackburn Fork State Scenic River on the Eastern Highland Rim. Located in the Cordell Hull Watershed, the area has been a scenic spot and swimming hole for local residents of Jackson and Putnam counties for more than 100 years. Cummins Falls is Tennessee’s eighth largest waterfall in volume of water and is 75 feet high.
Located on the beautiful Blackburn Fork State Scenic River, this idyllic 211-acre site in Jackson County is home to Tennessee’s eighth largest waterfall at 75 feet high. Cummins Falls is formed on the Eastern Highland Rim and has been a favorite scenic spot and swimming hole for residents of Jackson and Putnam counties for more than 100 years. Cummins Falls also has been listed as one of the ten best swimming holes in the United States by Travel & Leisure and Conde Naste magazines.
Cummins Falls’ rich history includes a time when Indians used the area to track the numerous buffalo that wallowed in the river’s shallow areas. In the 1790s, Sergeant Blackburn, a veteran of the Revolutionary War and for whom the Blackburn Fork State Scenic River was named, was awarded the land in lieu of a pension. The land was acquired by John Cummins in 1825, and he used the land to build the first of two mills. Because of his growing clientele, a larger second mill was built in 1845. Local residents would visit the mills and the falls for both commerce and recreation.
The mill was washed away during the great flood of 1928, but cars and paved highways had already begun to make the trek to Cummins Falls more accessible. The land was not rebuilt, but stayed with the Cummins family for more than 180 years until efforts by the Tennessee Parks and Greenways Foundation to purchase the land through private and public donations for resale to the state of Tennessee.
