Little Qualicum Falls-42341 viewsWhatcha think? If you like neither then I'll blame it on the ever present Sunshine.

Vancouver is know for it's cool misty climate but, we had ten straight days of brilliant sunshine. Niece for touring but tough on waterfalls photography.

Derick2339 viewsIt takes a tough photographer to stand in cold Greenland Creek in December.

Derick is now baptist as a crew member of OA.
He did this all day, just to get the shot.

Frenchie2337 viewsWent to Normandy to pay my respect to those young men who will never grow old.

Along the river I found the only waterfall I saw on the Seine River Cruise. Unfortunately, it was small and at night.

Yeah, I know the same nation that gave us (US) the Statue Of Liberty has better waterfalls, I just did not go near one.

LAUREL FORK FALLS, TN-1.JPG
Laurel Fork Falls2335 viewsThis is one of the most visited falls in the area due to it's being located on the Appalachian Trail.

To reach the falls and get a good hike, venture up Dennis Cove Road and park at the well marked Appalachian Trail crossing.

There are at least two more falls on the way if you are a little more experienced.

If you want a little more difficult hike, park at the crossing in Hampton, TN.
