South Mountain State Park

Exposure : 1/2 sec Aperture : F 22 Focal Length : 44 mm ISO : 200

Today was filled with excitement as I went to South Mountain State park in Burke County, NC for the first time. Many of my friends have told me before how vigorous the hike up the mountain would be, it was filled with large rocks and many stairs to prevent erosion. The road that we took to get there was very narrow and had a tendency to wind the entire way. Once we arrived, we started to make our way up the 1/2 mile trail to High Shoals Falls. It was a very well maintained trail that included many newly rebuilt bridges and river overlooks. I always enjoy outdoor trips like these, so that I can just get away from it all and see God's beautiful creations. Sometime in the future I plan to go back and spend one entire day so that I can hike the entire mountain and spend much more time shooting the beautiful landscape.
