Can't wait to get started!2057 viewsAt the bottom of the falls.

I have been looking forward to doing this. I walk 1.7 miles for a warm up and 1200 feet is only four football fields long.

Dressed up Abram's Falls2043 viewsWith a fairly good camera, polarizing filter, haze filter and good cloud cover we dressed up Abram's Falls.

Don't expect to see this with the naked eye, it's about 1.3 seconds of exposure.

Maybe the most dangerous falls I have been to. If it's wet the trail and overhang could become very slippery.

Little Stony Lower-22030 viewsThat tree in the foreground saved me from a non-Saturday night bath.

Don't know why I picked Waterfallin as an addiction, not all that fond of water.

For Lovers?2025 viewsVirginia is for lovers.........if you love waterfalls.

This series of waterfalls is like a cascade on a very large scale.

I only had a short time to take these photos but, already planning a tripback, just to photograph Crabtree.

Guest River Falls2016 viewsI think the name of the falls is Guest River Falls but, I thik I will always know it as Doug's Falls since his bench (has his plaque on it) offers a good place to just sit, relax and enjoy the falls.
