Repost This ArticleBUT THEY’RE JUST AS EVOCATIVE — maybe more so, for the fact that many are in locations that are hard to get to and / or aren’t well known. Take this note from photographer Nicholas A. Tonelli, in reference to the shot of Silverthread Falls below:
This 80-foot cascade lies a short distance from Dingmans Falls, one of Pennsylvania’s highest falls. For some reason, the park service had closed the visitors’ center, as well as the trail leading to the falls, when I visited. I hiked the trail anyway, enjoying the absence of people. (The area gets crowded with tourists.)
For the other featured photographers who weren’t as forthcoming, it’s fun to imagine what was involved in accessing the more remote falls in this list…and what would be involved in getting there myself.

Great pictures! What camera did you use to take these beautiful photos?
I just love being told what I’ve never heard of. You may have never met anyone who is viewing this post.
Rolling Stone had a list of ten overlooked Dylan songs “that you’ve never heard.” I had all ten on my MP3 player, phone, laptop AND external hard drive.
Great!
