Situated in a forest of dense green, this spot along Middle Prong Little River was filled with beauty, peace and quiet – pristine nature without distraction. It’s a place where waters meet, as the river flows around a long island to reconnect.
You may enjoy this landscape on a wall in your home, as you sit back and immerse yourself in this natural environment, imagining the steady, gentle sound of water cascading downstream, or that of birds, hidden from sight though whose calls stream through forest trees.
I hope you’ll find something you like. Prints available here.

As evening beckons, a fading sun streams its final ray of daylight over the Smoky Mountains, casting long shadows of trees and illuminating a patch of water on Thunderhead Prong. Prints available.
It was late afternoon in the Smoky Mountains as I was hiking back along Middle Prong Trail, glancing downhill at Lynn Camp Prong as I progressed. Given no recent rainfall to preclude reasonably safe efforts of descent to access the river, below, and largely indirect light from a sun somewhat low in the sky, I was optimistic about undertaking one last off trail excursion to capture the beauty of nature.
Per my standard cautious and methodical approach, I selected a route to make my way down into the gorge, pleased to discover this serene, secluded spot, from which I now share my photography.
If you’d be interested in a print for an empty wall at home or work, then visit my galleries at Pixels and/or ArtPal to select something nice to enjoy. Thanks!
A short distance further downstream from Upper Potter’s Falls is, you guessed it – Lower Potter’s Falls. A two-tier waterfall located along Crooked Fork Creek on the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee, it’s a picturesque setting with several large boulders resting on geological terraces.

I.G.Y., by Donald Fagen (1982) – see lyrics here.
Prints available. Upper Potter’s Falls stands 18-feet tall and is located in Morgan County along Crooked Fork Creek, a tributary to Emory River, on the Cumberland Plateau, in Wartburg, Tennessee.
As visible in the video (above) and photograph (below), there’s a rope swing for folks to enjoy during warm weather. Also, the tree featured is practically flat – only a foot above the water at shore, and 8-feet at the edge of the falls. For purposes of recreation, one must climb on the tree (over the falls) in order to access the rope.
Despite spending countless hours hiking around waterfalls, it never ceases to amaze me how much wind is generated from falling water. In addition to mist wafting into the air, oftentimes requiring ones camera-lens to be cleaned, there’s also a vacuum created near the waterfall.
This is most easily observed when (case in point) a rope swing is present: note in the video and 2nd photograph how the rope slants backward, toward the falls. This creates a false perception that a given photograph wasn’t level when shot, and appears most pronounced in views from the side of the waterfall.
Hence, if you were wondering why it is that I erased the rope swing from the header image, ponder no more.
Thanks for stopping by!
