If you look closely, you'll
occasionally find small whirlpools formed by the turning currents of creeks and waterfalls. To get the effect you see above, I simply threw in some green and brown leaves and left the shutter open for five seconds. I love when these shots work -- because then the 'hidden' water currents reveal an entirely different dimension of the waterfall. Of course for this shot to work, you have to use a tripod and have a cloudy day with no harsh sunlight. Click
here to see a previous 'leaf swirl' photo. This small waterfall is located above the main 60' Red Fork Falls in
Unicoi County, TN. With eight different waterfalls, it's a great place to explore! But as always when I write about Red Fork, I have to note that this is one of the most dangerous destinations in our area, the easy accessibility of the falls often lures visitors into places they should not go. So if you visit, be careful! (Click
