This is an 80 foot single plunge waterfall at the end of a 1.7 mile loop trail in Rhea County Tennessee!
Signalbox diagram for Trowse Upper Junction on the Ipswich line on the outskirts of Norwich. The branch went off to Norwich Victoria which was the original terminus but was downgraded to a goods station when Thorpe took over all of the GE passenger traffic.
I just got back from a week long photo trip to the Southwest. I was traveling with long-time friend Charles Chapman. Our trip was centered, for the most part, around Page, Arizona.
The places and sights we saw were Horseshoe Bend, Hanging Gardens, Owl Canyon, Rattlesnake Canyon, Upper Antelope Canyon, Lower Antelope Canyon, the Navajo National Memorial, Canyon De Chelly and the Petrified Forest National Park(including the Painted Desert).
I'll be posting images from these locations as I get them processed. I hope you enjoy them half as much as I did taking them.

Shot using my older medium format film camera, a GX680 rev 1. After all my nikon digital gear was stolen, I figured I'd break this guy out of storage and see if I could still make it work ... hooray for an Analog photography day.
This image is a digital stich of two scanned polaroid back shots taken with an 80mm lens on polaroid b&w film that expired in 2003, and I believe it was F16 or F22 at 1 to 2 seconds, give or take a stop here or there.
Another lesson from this trip was that we need to take a marker so I can mark my shots. Also, I need to find my light meter!
Indiana had a very dry summer and the state has near drought conditions, so not much water flow! Cataract Falls is located on the southern end of Cagles Mill Lake, near Cunot and Cataract, Indiana, just off Indiana State Road 42 and close to Indiana State Road 243 in the west central part of the state. Located in northern Owen County, Indiana at Leiber State Recreation Area, it is the state's largest natural waterfall.

Upper Canada Village, is an authentic 19th century loyalist village. It is located on the banks of the majestic Saint Lawrence River, between Cornwall and Morrisburg, Ontario, Canada
Lara and I spent the day in Western North Carolina Saturday. We got up and left the house at 4am. Started the day out at Wiseman's view on the western bank of the Linville Gorge. Sunrise wasn't too spectacular. But, it was still beautiful and a joy to be there. We then drove over to a couple of waterfalls/cascades off of highway 181 called Upper Creek falls. It was a little 1.6 mile loop trail. When we started out it was just a fine rain.
In my opinion the best images are during the worst weather. With this waterfall we actually did need the rain. It is one that is open to the sky with a lot of exposed rock. With the rock dry, it is dull looking and grey. With the open sky, if the sun was out, there would have been hot spots and uneven lighting. So, the little rain wet the rocks, the clouds made for a giant softbox to give nice light. At the big upper Upper Creek falls we had to take turns holding a bumbershoot over the camera gear to keep it dry.
This location is some place that is ripe for a whole day's worth of exploring. We spend a good three hours there and only scratched the surface. From there we drove over to the eastern base of the Black Mountains for a little waterfall called White Oak Creek falls. This little waterfall isn't anything major and most people would ignore it. However, it is the type of waterfall I like best: It is small and encased in foliage.
There were plenty of opportunities there, but we had to get moving. Grandad's Apples N' Such was calling us with their supply of Honey Crisp apples.
During our adventures we saw Whitetail deer, a fox, a Black Bear, Turkeys, Opossum. The bear we saw on the BRP at a pull over just north of the 226 entry point. It was in the grass between the road and the parking area. There were two people and a park ranger standing less than twenty feet from the bear. Way too close, but the park ranger was there. It was a small bear, bigger than a cub perhaps, but less than 200 pounds easy. It was just standing there unmoving. We debated going back to take pictures, but something told me not to. I got the impression there was something wrong with the bear. It shouldn't have been just standing there with three people so close. And, if it was a cub, I for danged sure wasn't going to go back and wait on mama to show up.
I took this with my Nikon D2X on a trip I had with a friend that lived out in Tennessee. This was a Nikon flagship camera in 2004 and it was build like a tank! It had 12.4 megapixels, was a lot back then. The camera was a little bit unforgiving. Auto focus, white balance and color cast, and understanding how to adjust settings quickly, which required practice. I took this shot in 2015, which was the first year that the Biltmore Estate had the massive Dale Chihuly exhibit. What you are looking at are the upper windows of the east side of this 175,000 square foot mansion. I toned this to give an older historic feel that is weathered and a bit cold. I would like this picture hanging in my library!

The Upper Cut Band is a nice rock and funk band complete with a horn section. They had two lead singers which definitely know how to play to the audience.
