Cave Behind Waterfall

This photograph was taken from inside a massive cave underneath the 40-foot tall Big Laurel Falls, located in the Virgin Falls State Park. Although the water level along Big Laurel Creek was low during my visit, its interesting that the entire area sits on top of a broad network of subterranean caverns. As such, this waterfall (and others) disappear underground, oftentimes to reemerge some great distance away.

You can find a variety of fine prints featuring my photography in the following galleries, including such options as framed, canvas, art, metal, wood, poster, acrylic and tapestry. Other products are also available…

Thanks for visiting & enjoy the great outdoors!

  Thanks so much, sweet Kym 🍯 It was kind of a trip, too, because the water flows beneath the cave. As such, when walking near the back, you could hear it flowing under your feet and sense the ground (sand) shifting ever so slightly. Thanks for visiting, my dear friend, and I wish for you a great week ahead! 🥰
