Boiler?2361 viewsI found this near an old power plant t Burgess Falls, TN.

Have no idea what it could be but, thought it might be an old boiler except it has concrete in the bottom?

Any info appreciated.

Sink Hole Plunge2361 viewsThe water was nearly non-existent on our arival and lighting could not have been worse but, who can pass up the tallest water fall in Florida? The falls plunges 73 ft into a sink hole that appears to have been there forever.

Little Qualicum Falls-32360 viewsLQF-3&-4 are the same view with focal point and exposure time differences. My preference is the darker photo with the closer rocks as the focal point, rather than the falls itself.

Dick's Creek Falls (lower) **2356 viewsThis Falls is one of the prettier small waterfalls in the area of Limestone Cove.

I only rate it as ** because of the two mile hike, one way, and the mud holes from vehicles.

Backbone Rock2355 viewsLocated on TN 133 about 5 miles from Damascus, VA.

The arch is man made for old logging trains. Note the size or the tunnel compared to the lady standing in it. Also notice the notch in the top of the tunnel. That is so the smoke stack of the train could clear the top.

While visiting the park, there is a waterfalls behind the photographer and a cascade in the park behind the lady.
