After yet another failure to locate a specific waterfall (I’m sparing you the details. I’m not ready to talk about it yet.) I visited a well documented fall that was less than spectacular. I was beginning to grow a bit desperate. I started to return home then I remembered passing a sign for Glenn Falls near Highlands, NC on an earlier trip. I had never researched the falls and I had no idea what to expect. But, it was near my location and at least I knew where to find it. And I am very pleased I did. It was a beautiful hike and an impressive waterfall.
I captured this image of Glenn Falls using my 16-35mm f/4, tripod mounted and using a circular polarizer. Thanks for stopping by.

This is a beautiful spot that I know well – thank you for posting this, it gave ke a smile 🙂
Happy to share and also to brighten your day, West.
Gorgeous 🙂 Theres just something about waterfalls, isn’t there? 🙂
There is for me anyway. Thanks for the kind words, Morgan.
It was meant to be! Life is often NOT what we set out to do in the beginning of the day!
Agreed.
Very lovely!
Thanks, Nanette.
Beautiful Toby!
Thanks, Laura.
you’re welcome 🙂
Beautiful waterfall photo, Toby. Looks like a pretty area to hike.
It is a wonderful hike. I will certainly return to visit the area again, Lavinia.
Love the slow shutter speed – enjoyed this picture
Thanks, Diana.
Agree, great shot…and sometimes when a shoot does not turn out as planned, a great alternative can pop up ~ beautiful.
Thanks, Dalo.
I’m glad your trip had a happy (and beautiful) ending. 🙂
I couldn’t have imagined a better ending to the adventure, Elisa.
Gorgeous capture – you’ve made that waterfall look amazing!
Thanks for the kind words, Joanne.
Regardless of what waterfall you were looking for, this certainly is a good substitute!
Agreed, John. It was good to break my losing streak.
What a beautiful waterfall…..love the perspective and framing of your shot.
Sounds like the treasure at the end of a frustrating day!
It could not have been any more perfect. It was exactly what I was looking for.
Beautiful shot and spectacular waterfall to just “find” on your way back home. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Duke. I certainly had a change of luck. And sometimes its better to be lucky than good.
Did you walk to the bottom? The first and third cascade are the best.
Due to the lack of planning, I had already lost my good light immediately following this capture. I was able to capture 6 quick images and then the sun took over. I’ll have the lower cascade to look forward to on another day. And next time this will be my primary goal.
Looks so refreshing, especially now that the days are getting hot! Nice photo!
Thanks, Becky.
It still looks pretty spectacular to me!
Thanks, Kathy.
