The Waterfalls of North Carolina

Last Saturday at this time I was standing deep within the Pisgah National Forest gazing in awe at the beauty of Log Hollow Branch Falls.
It was during I trip I took with the Triangle Photography Meetup group.  Our group organizer mapped out about 12 different waterfalls to visit, all located in the Brevard/Transylvania County area.


I grew up near the NC mountains, but had never spent a great deal of time challenging myself to take photos of waterfalls.
















In total, I was able to visit six different waterfalls - Log Hollow Branch, Moore Cove, Looking Glass, Mill Shoal, Bird Rock, and Eastatoe.  Eastatoe (shown above) was my favorite.  It was by far the most breathtaking, and oddly enough, it was located almost directly in someone's backyard.  What a lucky property owner!

 
The Triangle Photography Meetup group is already planning an autumn trip to see a different set of waterfalls in all their seasonal splendor.  Anyone interested can come along!
