Just Think Outside
...the place for creativity

Greetings!

Snow. There is something special about being outside during, and just after, it snows.

I love jogging during a snowstorm. The falling snow quiets the world around you and even your footsteps land softly.

I also love heading out with my camera after it snows. The muted colors of winter are transformed into a snowglobe's world of white. I recently travelled to Blue Hole Falls to do some "snow" photography.

We've had several snowstorms in N.E. Tennessee and I'm hoping for a few more opportunities to head outside and into the snow before spring.

Just Think Outside,

Ice and Flow

Since the temperature had been well below freezing for several weeks I decided to travel to Blue Hole Falls near Elizabethton Tennessee with the hope of finding them covered with ice and snow.

I was in luck. I donned my ice crampons and used my ice ax to make my way down the slick rocks of the first waterfall at Blue Hole. Once I got to the edge of the stream I turned to my right and saw the waterfall in front of me and huge icicles were hanging from the wall to the right.

It was an incredibly beautiful scene. A light snow was falling, the only sound I could hear was the roar of the falls, and ice and snow coated the world around me. Wow was the only word that came to mind.

I made my way toward the falls while climbing several feet up toward the icicles so I could use them to frame the scene. I balanced my tripod on the snow-covered rocks and took this image which was my favorite of the day.

I took several more images of the waterfalls and then spent a few quiet moments enjoying the beauty of my surroundings before leaving Blue Hole.
