Hikers can climb on this amazing waterfall an hour east of Nashville, then take a relaxing swim at the bottom.

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.

The two ladies you see standing in the waterfall were among several more celebrants hiking up to the base after my arrival. One of the ladies had hiked in "flip-flops," which is the usual case for many who come here. Actually, the river gorge is hiked by people of all ages including children... and they are all magnetically attracted to one significant thing...~ the immense swimming hole at the base of the waterfall. A park associate who had also hiked up to the base told me on peak summer days there may be as many as 150 people here swimming and picnicking. In order to hike the gorge, a hiking pass is required. That's how the park is able to track how many people are in the gorge....and if the gorge is already full, there may be as many as over 100 people standing in line to purchase a hiking pass to go swimming. These two ladies had driven down from the state of Wisconsin and had scheduled Cummins Falls in their travelling plans. On my way back out, as I was hiking along and talking with several others, eventually I found the first crossing of the river I had missed on my hike in. If I lived closer, I guarantee I would be hiking here at least every 6 weeks! After I arrived back to my Jeep, I would be on my way back to photograph and share with you the grand finale of my adventure... my return visit to Burgess Falls!
Shoeburyness, Essex
A little while ago we wandered down to Shoeburyness, we haven’t been down to this part of Essex for some time. I had heard that there was an installation called the ‘Poppies: Wave’ which we want to see. Poppies; Wave was part of the very moving work ‘Blood Swept Lands and Sea of Red’ dedicated to those who served in WWI, this was at the Tower of London in 2014.
I have posted a few images of this installation plus I few others I took on the day. I have also shown a photograph that I took in 2014 of the original piece of work. This was designed by Tom Piper and Artist Paul Cummins.
If anyone out there is interested it goes on until 25th June 2017. The address is Barge Pier, Gunners Park, Shoeburyness, Essex. There was a garrison there where the Royal Garrison Artillery and Royal Field Artillery trained. There was also a British War Dog training school, which was established in 1917. All now disappeared.

The demo model was a joint venture between Cummins and Sygnet Rail Technologies. April 2, 2020
It's always great when there is a person standing in a waterfall to enliven the viewing perspective. Just look at the immense stature of this waterfall! Timothy arrived at the waterfall not long after I did. He and his wife had driven down from the state of Iowa and crossed over the Appalachian Mountains in Kentucky before arriving here in Tennessee. Timothy was in the area on business for a company meeting later in the afternoon and he decided to start his day with a swim here below the waterfall. Cummins Falls is the 8th largest waterfall in Tennessee and is a highly popular, nationally recognized destination, often ranked among the best swimming holes in the United States by publications such as Travel + Leisure and Condé Nast Traveler. Its popularity has surged in recent years, making it one of the most visited natural attractions in the region. Timothy asked if I could try to get a photo of him in the falls and I did my best considering, so here's to you brother!

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.
With the local pub in the background, Genesee & Wyoming 1067mm gauge Alcos are shunting their train 3AE1 at Cummins, South Australia, on 26 March 2019.
The first three units are DL531 export model Alcos 905/873/850, 905 having been modified in later life with a chopped nose. The 4th and 5th units, 1203, 1204 are former Westrail EMD A class locos that GWA inherited in 2006.
Most of this fascinating 1067mm (3'6" gauge) system closed two months later when the remaining grain task is shifted to road transport.

Cummins Falls State Park
Cookeville, TN
The waterfalls is in Jackson County. It has a Cookeville address, but Cookeville is actually in Putnam County.
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.
CM3303, CM3314 and CM3312 work 4261 empty grain train through Towrang bound for Goulburn.
Tuesday 28th November 2017
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.
Weeping Window is a cascade comprising several thousand handmade ceramic poppies seen pouring from a high window to the ground below.
The breath-taking sculptures were initially conceived as the key dramatic sculptural elements in the installation Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red at the Tower of London in the autumn of 2014. Over the course of their time at the Tower, the two sculptures were gradually surrounded by a vast field of ceramic poppies, each one planted by a volunteer in memory of the life of a British and Colonial soldier lost during the First World War.
Weeping Window from the installation ‘Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red’. Poppies and original concept by artist Paul Cummins. Installation designed by Tom Piper. By Paul Cummins Ceramics Limited in conjunction with Historic Royal Palaces, originally at HM Tower of London 2014.
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.
