This is a 5-exposure set taken of the Blackwater Falls in Blackwater Falls State Park, West Virginia. This is one of many waterfalls in this state park and this specific one is over 50 feet tall. Over the winter, they had a landslide that destroyed the lower boardwalk, so while we where there you couldn’t get down to the lower viewing platform seen in the photo. That was all right with me, because that might have been to close for photography anyway and people would have been in my shot.

MJ and I had nothing planned today and it was a sunny, but a bit cool. I mentioned to her in the past that I wanted to go to Blackwater Falls State Park in WV. So this morning she suggested we pile in the car and go check it out. We did some last minute packing (camera, maps, hiking boots, etc…) and away we went. It took us a little over two hours to get there and we spent most of the day in the state park. It doesn’t sounds like much, but we hiked about 6 miles in some very rough territory (some would call it mountainous). We climbed all over the ravines, valleys, rivers, and trails. All so I could take a few more photos. Imagine that!!!.

Additional Note:

Today is my Uncle Jim’s birthday. I hope he had a great day.
