This picture was taken at the Dismal Falls on the Appalachian Trail in November of 2010 after a heavy snow fall. The Falls were frozen over it appeared in action and the areas of running water were forced to make their way around the heavy ice caps.
A stream runs next to my house; it travels from the Appalachian Trail down the mountain to the lake in our community. After all the rain we experienced this week, the water was flowing very fiercely.
I live near the Appalachian Trail and this is a picture from the summer of a sunset. I find it very inspiring being able to go look at places like this and get exercise at the same time.
