I thought this was pretty cool...

I was driving around on some mountain trails today after work and was captivated by what I came upon. It was unbelievably peaceful and the only noise was the water crashing off the rocks at the bottom.

It was a winding trail that was fairly narrow (about a foot wider the the XJ) and I had to cross a river at one point that was about a foot deep to get to the dam, but The scenery was worth it. I only had my phone with me, but I still think it helps to portray the calmness.

wow thats nice , wish there were some cool places like that near by but i dont know any.

 

[hectik1]

Very cool!

 

[BOMBdig]

there is a place that looks just like that near me. However, it is right next to a bridge in the middle of a trashy city, so it's potential for peacefulness is ruined. I would love to find a quiet place like that.

Hey Glenn where is that? I bet I could get some contour shots there.

 

[AliasJerk]

I think know where that is :laugh:

Is it in Wosta by that crazy intersection off exit 10 of I290?

I know a place like that in north georgia, my dad used to take me there as a kid. (now if could only find it, would be great for pics). otherwise great place.

I never got around to going back there with an actual camera...but today was another unexpected trip. My w580i apparently takes panoramic shots.

Wostwho? Worcester? You're thinking of Kelley Square. And I'm assuming the "trashy city" of which she is referring is Springfield.

Drive over to the Dunelands in Western Indiana along Lake Michigan. There are some really nice beaches and generally cool countryside.

THere is always MN. :crazy:

 

[frenchblueC2]

That is a cool area, Glen.
Make sure you go back there when the leaves fill in too. I bet it'll look even better.

 

[1FASTDAD]

[Trapps]

Why am I suddenly hearing banjo's?

No, I am thinking of the link below, right by "All Faiths Cemetery" in Worcester... It is not as dramatic as the OPs dam, but the same style none the less...

LOL! My grandparents live right there. I used to walk along that waterway as a child. Definitely no place for photos though.

Waterfalls are extremely peaceful ... Pen_Two I don't blame you for going back many times
