Blackwater Falls whose waters plunge plunge five stories then twist and tumble through an eight-mile long gorge. The "black" water is a result of tannic acid from fallen hemlock and red spruce needles.

  • This album makes me want to go there this spring/summer! I need to visit WV, 'cause I haven't been yet, and I have a goal of seeing every state at least once before I die! I have only about 12 to go!

  • Beautiful album! Great shots of water movement and light. Interesting how the boulder appears to sit alone at the bottom of the falls. (Hope to shoot waterfalls when I finish with Lighthouses.) WV is indeed a beautiful state! - Miss DeeAnne :)

  • Hi Bill and Kay, it has been way too long since I have been back to visit 2 of my favorite photographers and relieve all my pains by looking at your beautiful shots of WV--truly almost heaven (or maybe remove the "almost&quot ;). I also wanted to thank you for your very wonderful comments on my recently featured "Fog" album. I consider praise from the top to always be a great honor. Mike

  • Hi Kay and Bill! I can't believe that I have missed this beautiful album. These falls are spectatular! I just love state parks--some of our country's most beautiful scenery can be found in state parks. Thanks for the congrats on the featured album today. Your comments are always so special to me. Lots of hugs! Sharon

  • Thank you for your kind words in my guestbook. Your choice (as well as many others in the featured album)as your favorite photo was actually taken several years ago, when I was still shooting with a "point & shoot" camera. This fall we are returning to the Tetons, so maybe I can capture some similar images of that area, now that I have some better equipment. Love your waterfall shots in this album. Jon

  • Hi Bill and Kay, I can see why you liked my album with the falls in it. I absolutely love waterfalls and as you have seen in my album, I went back to see how frozen it would get. I was a little surprised to find that it froze up totally, and even more surprised to find those two young guys going to climb up it. When I was standing in front of the frozen falls, you could hear the water rushing underneath the ice, but that didn't slow those guys down a bit. My sweetie is my ride when I want to go take pics, but that has a drawback, he has absolutely no patience so I didn't get to see them climb all the way up, but on the way back, I did get him to stop and the two guys were almost at the top! It was great to watvh them climb, even though I didn't see them climb from the bottom! Your album with those beautiful falls is wonderful! You have captured Blackwater Falls very nicely! Beautiful pics! Thanks again! Vicky from Pa.

  • Hi Bill and Kay, happy new year. Those photos of the waterfalls are just spectacular. I think I've told you before, that we have no waterfalls here, just fast flowing burns. You have took some really nice photos of the waterfalls, they seem to be going full force all the time. Well, I'm off now, so I'll see you later, all the best, and keep on taking brilliant photos, George

    said  of gpleask gpleask 2004.01.01 at 14:03:06 PST

  • Hi Bill & Kay, I absolutely love your photos, and I am not in your class at all. Wish I were! Nearly all my travel is between Richmond and Princeton WV, so I do get to see the mountains, but not so much anymore. I really love your pictures and download a lot for my desktop and screensavers, and your pics are so good it is almost like seeing the real thing. Love it! I am just barely computer literate, and what I do know I pretty much taught myself. I really like your fractals, and wish I could do that, but it is a total mystery to me. How? Keep them coming, please! Best to you both. Loretta

  • Hi Bill and Kay. Had to come back and get some pretty waterfalls for the new pc. Didn't know how to save previous screensavers, so this lets me revisit my favorite albums. Thanks again for sharing all your beautiful photos. Hugs to you, Dynna

  • Your name kept popping up on some of my favorites so I had to check out your work. Very impressive. I'm enjoying going through your albums, esp. this one on the falls. I have a falls album but here in northern Mich. it's nothing like what you have but I always appreciate falls. Keep up the good work and I'll be checking back later. Garry

  • Hi Bill and Kay! Can well understand your feelings when in these surroundings. It must be a kind of heaven. For me - Downstream From Falls - is something very nice. Have it now on the screen and it's ingredible. It's my type of a great scenery. So different from what I have now here in Portugal. In Finland could have something of a kind in north-east parts of the country. What a wonderful word we have to share. Thanks once again! /:))=Antti
