A stream runs next to my house; it travels from the Appalachian Trail down the mountain to the lake in our community. After all the rain we experienced this week, the water was flowing very fiercely.
This picture was taken at the Dismal Falls on the Appalachian Trail in November of 2010, after a heavy snow fall. The Falls were frozen over, it appeared, in action. The areas of running water were forced to make their way around the heavy ice caps.
It was an amazing sight to see, as are many things along the Appalachian Trails.
