Pinnacle Lookout Tower2550 viewsPinnacle Lookout Tower occupies the spot where an old Fire Tower once stood and is visible from the town of Unicoi, TN.

There is a trail leading to the tower from I-26, Unicoi exit. Better take along some water and energy bars, you will need both.

Hemlock Falls 32549 viewsSorry but, due to time constraints, the falls located in Cloudland Canyon State Park, Georgia, are of poor quality and both tint and contrast were adjusted to make them usable.

Little Qualicum Falls-32547 viewsLQF-3&-4 are the same view with focal point and exposure time differences. My preference is the darker photo with the closer rocks as the focal point, rather than the falls itself.

Boiler?2539 viewsI found this near an old power plant t Burgess Falls, TN.

Have no idea what it could be but, thought it might be an old boiler except it has concrete in the bottom?

Any info appreciated.
