I guess it does have a “Lord of the Rings” fantasy feel about it doesn’t it. Kind of cool that it actually exists. Thanks for the nice comment.

There’s a place called Turner Falls in Davis, Oklahoma. My father took us there when we were kids. He somehow found an isolated part of the park that looked a lot like this shot of yours. The water was ice cold in the middle of summer…..falls flowing down from the mountains there. You brought back a memory for me. :)
Adam Bykowski replied
Cool. I think it is so neat to spark a memory of a beautiful place or good times. Thanks for letting me know.

Adam Bykowski replied
