Yesterday, my wife and I went to North Georgia to enjoy a quiet
Thanksgiving Day in the mountains.
We visited a beautiful waterfall, Minnehaha Falls, off of the beaten
path. *It was about a 5 miles drive on a one lane dirt/gravel road so it
really was quiet and secluded, especially on Thanksgiving.
Of course, I had to screw around with mother nature. *Absolutely NONE of
my photos come close to the way it looked in real life.
This is the way it looks in real life:

I like Minnehaha. Have you ever been to Starr's Mill? I've got some
decent 35mm shots from about ten years ago from there that turned out
well.
I had never heard of it, but are you talking about this place :

Yep, that's the place. I took a picture from across the creek that
turned out very nice. I'll have to scan it sometime.


Or even better, go back and take some with your new camera.- Hide quoted text -

Yes, I'd like to go back. I've heard that the state or county has
taken it over, I hope they don't do something stupid!
