Flat Hollow Arch Pendergrass Murry Recreation Area Lee County Kentucky
Funston Arch Complex Eagle Creek Natural Bridge Privately Owned McCreary County Kentucky In April when myself and some good friends visited Cumberland Falls State Park! On our first morning we headed over to the Funston Arch Complex and I was looking for some new perspectives. I really dug this one framing in the window, the falls and beyond the falls the Eagle Creek Natural Bridge. It's one of Kentucky's most unique and beautiful places and every chance I get I'm going to pay this place a visit!
Garrison Natural Bridge Daniel Boone National Forest Pulaski County Kentucky Fall came late in 2018 and as I expected this adventure was a bit weak in fall color but it wasn't weak in the summer color department! For some time now I've been wanting to visit the little known Garrison Natural Bridge in Kentucky's Daniel Boone National Forest. Though not far from a seldom used but passable forest road, the offtrail hike required pushing through plenty of briers. This impressive natural bridge is a beauty and lived up to my expectations as one of the cooler arches I've visited, but from a photography standpoint it was one of the toughest I've tried to shoot. The trees are all in the wrong place for a great comp. Probably the more interesting features of the bridge is its two waterfalls. Extremely wet weather waterfalls mind you. One waterfall falls to the base of the arch and the other drops over the cliff ledge on the other side, very cool. It will be highly unlikely I will ever have the opportunity to visit here in the conditions to show off these features. A spot I did want to try for a composition was a few feet above the top of the upper falls, but we had some concerns about how slick the grade would be to set up one since it was very wet and mossy and one slip would have you sliding down to the ledge of the falls and tumbling 10 or 15 feet. I'll certainly be back in different conditions and a different season!
