 Northern Rough Winged Swallow2390 viewsDue to the easy access of the nest I will not disclose it's location.

I believe this to be as identified but, if you know it to be another bird please, let me know.

 Boiler?2261 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.

 Backbone Rock2257 viewsLocated on TN 133 about 5 miles from Damascus, VA.

The arch is man made for old logging trains. Note the size or the tunnel compared to the lady standing in it. Also notice the notch in the top of the tunnel. That is so the smoke stack of the train could clear the top.

While visiting the park, there is a waterfalls behind the photographer and a cascade in the park behind the lady.

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.
