I'm no photographer, and just use a P&S camera, but have been thinking of sharing a pictoral series dedicated to destinations in the (seemingly…somehow?)largely ignored Cumberland Plateau area that stretches from Kentucky into North Georgia and Alabama, and is home to many natural wonders.
Loading even downsized pics of any quantity to this site is laborious, though, so in case I never do…
My all-time favorite outdoor activity is following streams up boulder-strewn gorges, whether in or along the streambeds. Sometimes the end point is rather anticlimactic, but such was not the case yesterday when I rounded the final turn in the trail and found myself unable to do more than stand and stare for the next few moments.
