    Cascades

    This summer photograph of cascades was taken at the Savage Gulf State Natural Area, upstream from Savage Falls. Like many other waterways on the Cumberland Plateau, the volume of water present varies greatly depending upon the season of the year. Despite a low level during my visit, I nevertheless considered this underlying rock structure a real treat to see, and photograph. If interested, prints are available. Thanks for visiting!

    More specifically, shots from the trail to Spruce Flats Falls in the Smoky Mountains. It’s not a long hike, though the terrain is somewhat challenging with several changes in elevation. Nevertheless, the falls are beautiful so it’s definitely worth the effort! These photographs are available as prints in my gallery, so, if you’d like to decorate an empty wall in your home, office, business lobby, cafeteria or hospital setting, then do stop by and have a look around.

  • Bruce Creek

    Bruce Creek

    Situated in Caryville, Tennessee, Bruce Creek was relocated many decades ago to accommodate the I-75 interstate highway system. During that process, a waterfall known as Triple Falls, or Little Egypt, was created.

    Seen here, rushing whitewater rapids appear ready to topple a large boulder. You can also go with the flow to my gallery for a selection of fine prints – great on a wall at home, or in the office!

  • Waterfall With No Name

    Beyond Triple Falls is a bridge and trail leading up the mountain, to an area known as Devil’s Racetrack. However, if instead you elect to follow the river for approx. 1/2 mile, you’ll come upon this scenic, unnamed waterfall standing approx. 30-feet tall.

    You can find a variety of fine prints with my photography in my gallery at Pixels.
