If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water.

Second waterfall at “The Blue Hole” near Stoney Creek, TN

It has been a while since I’ve posted anything, but I plan to get back to a more routine schedule now.  This shot is the first of four waterfalls in an area known as the “Blue Hole” near Stoney Creek, Tennessee.

The beautiful Laurel Fork stream located in the Pond Mountain Wilderness near Hampton, Tennessee.

This is a photo a small waterfall on the Rocky Fork stream in Unicoi County, Tennessee.  The recent purchase of the surrounding land (also known as “Rocky Fork”) made it a fully protected and preserved area.  Before this purchase occurred, it was the largest unprotected area in the Appalachian Mountains.  This purchase is a great achievement for land, wildlife, and stream preservation in the Appalachian Mountains.  If you get a chance, go check out this beautful area known as Rocky Fork.

I took this image on the beautiful Nolichucky River only a few minutes before the sky went completely dark.  The trees and rocks in the foreground were painted with light by a nearby campfire, while the blue color of the river was brought out by leaving the shutter open for 30 seconds.

This is Big Creek Falls located near the Tennessee/North Carolina Border. For directions to this easily accessible waterfall click here.
