Father and Son Cool Off in July

Album Info:

every summer 2-3 people drown here; a foot becomes wedged between two rocks, the current pushes them into the water, they cannot self-extricate, and in a few frantic minutes they are dead

  • I'm going to be there in July of this year, 13th and 14th. I hope to find some streams to cool off in too! I MAY even be able to be up in the Smokies with my new "Beau!" If not, I'll at least be there with a friend of mine that I've known since we were 6! 41 years ago!

  • I hope my comment above wasn't misinterpreted! Obviously there are dangers swimming in this sort of water, but it's fantastic fun. swimmers must never be unaccompanied, and of course must be proficient. Seems these guys are observing the rules!

  • Great shot, I've swam in similar waterfalls in Turkey and Croatia - exciting and refreshing, but not as dangerous as it looks.

  • Maybe I could swim here; I don't have any feet and I like white water. :-) This is a great photo of white water without it being milky-looking!

  • These swimmers look to be in a dangerous position. Makes me shudder to think that they are in danger of being dashed upon the rocks! Excellent capture!
