Sunsets - Free Wallpaper

A friend posted a picture of a sunset that reminded me of this first one. Even though the locations were about 15 driving hours apart, I was curious if it was the same day.

The sky was actually this red. I was walking through the kitchen and noticed how red the light was then I looked outside and saw this beautiful sky, so I grabbed my camera, and I drove to this location to get these shots. This was back on July 17, 2004

As you can tell, this is one of my favourite spots in Smiths Falls ON Canada to take sunset pictures. I cant remember the name of the highway, but its next to the Merricksville Highway, between the two bridges by the park. This was on June 28, 2004.

Big Falls, Between Lebanon and Cleveland VA

A friend of ours told us about some waterfalls over between Lebanon VA and Cleveland VA. It took about 20 minutes to hike to them, but they were pretty easy to get to, and there was a 2nd parking lot that would take 12 minutes off that hike time.

The GPS co-ordinates for the first parking lot is: N36°57.187' W082°03.309'. From here you get to cross a large swing bridge to get to the falls. :D

I believe the GPS co-ordinates for the waterfall is: N36°57.752' W082°03.236'. There was some tree coverage where I was when I was setting the GPS, so I don't know if the gps was reading the co-ordinates correctly. It was starting to rain, so I didn't take the time to get into a clearer area. Because of the rain I didn't get a chance to mark the 2nd parking lot either. Perhaps next time.

Thanks Barbie for telling me about the place. :D

Hayters Gap Waterfall, Revisited - updated with new link

I had to go to Bristol for a dental appointment last Thursday, so on the way home we decided to try to go to the water fall again. This time we were prepared with appropriate clothing.

The way down to the waterfall from the road side isn't exactly safe, if you loose your footing, you will be rolling for a while and right into the stream. By the time we arrived at the falls it was getting a bit to dark, so I had to hurry and get the 20 or so pictures. I am always learning things, and this time I learned that we should bring a flashlight next time! And perhaps some rope, to get down more easily and safely. I want to go back in January when there is some snow. The way up and down to the falls should be particularly interesting with the added ice, but the pictures should be worth it. :)

Hayters Gap Waterfall

My wife and I love waterfalls, especially those that make you earn the view after a hike.

This waterfall at Hayters Gap doesn't require a hike, but you do have to scale down the side of it to get this view. And we believe the path to this has poison ivy or something that causes itching. :)

We tried to find this waterfall last year when my parents came down for a visit, but we were unable to find it, mostly because the direction we came from was different than usual. We tried it again last Sunday, we thought we either missed it again, or it had dried up. On our way to Abingdon, VA, we found it!!!! Except we were wearing our Church clothes, so we couldn't hike down to the good part. But we marked the GPS so we can find it next time we are better dressed. :D

Sailing Away

I was looking through my pictures from this summer, and I thought I would create some high contrast sepia photos from some pictures I took on the St. Lawrence this past summer.







There was going to be a sail race that day, but there was not enough wind, so it was called off. There was a lot of interesting boats there.
