Fall Hollow

Last winter was the first throwback winter Nashville had in nearly a decade, with ice and snow everywhere. Since I’m none too bright and love to hike around in that stuff, I was driving back from a pleasant jaunt and found this place, Fall Hollow, by accident. I saw the road-sign and decided on a whim to stop and I’m glad I did. It was spectrally beautiful that day; unfortunately I only had my videocamera, which takes flawless video but for some reason very hazy photographs (user error, I’m sure)…see:


Since then I splurged on a digital camera and recently took this beaten, battered, hardworking, small but very spunky device on a return visit. No winter wonderland this year, but still a nice place. This is the view beside the trail:


Walking toward the falls can be a bit tricky (a sign there says the path is ‘unprepared’) but pleasant:


…and very refreshing:

Don't do this much anymore, but I heard this song on some podcast and absolutely loved it: Israel Nash Gripka's 'Goodbye Ghost.'
