Looking Glass Falls
Located in Western North Carolina near Brevard, the falls get their name from Looking Glass Rock, where water freezes on its sides in the winter and then glistens in the sunlight like a mirror or looking glass.  Note the fly fisherman at the base of the falls.

These leaves were trapped against a rock just above Burgess Falls in Middle Tennessee.   The water level was down enough that it allowed us to walk out to get this shot.

Ramsey Cascades
This is one of the few black and white photos on my site.  Ramsey Cascades is a nice hike that follows the river for several miles in the Smoky Mountains.  The rocks are naturally black and dark against the white water.
