Hooker Falls and then some...



 I have immense respect for the force of water. It just keeps on flowing, going to the lowest point in front of it...always going going going. Until there's just a level place, where it slows and barely moves.

One of my all-time favorite photos of Lake Tomahawk. The snowcapped mountain looks much closer, probably because of the light of the snow.


The Swannanoa River...I'm thrilled by the force of this water coming out of the mountains, in a North Fork and a South Fork, which join and then flow to the French Broad River in Asheville. The whole valley is named for the Swannanoa.


This amazing photo of a ferry crossing probably the French Broad River. But I'm not sure. An interesting ferry.

  2. Neat old photo. I guess the horses didn't mind the ferry.

    1. I'm amazed that they were looking so calm...somehow I would think the way a boat moves under your feet would bother them.

    1. Thanks. Old photos are coming out. Need to go take some new ones. We shall see what happens, eventually. And look back with a sign as we consider how we waited it out.
