Default Messing with Mother Nature

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:

This slide show shows how an amateur can screw up perfection:

Very nice! Actually, I think the originals were the photoshopped version.
Yours appear quite natural. Sounds like you had a nice Thanksgiving. Good!
