The Fallen Log

from $35.00

The Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail is a feast for the senses, but for me, the real magic happens when you step out of the car. The air is cool, you're surrounded by the sound of rushing water, and the green is almost overwhelming. This scene, with the fallen log perfectly bridging the cascades, felt like a miniature, hidden world. It's a perfect example of the wild, untamed beauty you find just off the path, a small, perfect cascade of water and life.

Silky white water tumbles over moss-covered boulders in an intimate cascade on the Roaring Fork. A fallen, weathered log rests in the center, bridging the two tiers of the waterfall and adding a rustic, natural element to the scene. The vibrant, almost electric green of the moss contrasts beautifully with the dark, wet rocks, creating a lush and dynamic portrait of the Smoky Mountains' hidden streams.

A signature piece from the "Mountain Moods" gallery, this photograph celebrates the vibrant, lush life found in the heart of the forest.

Print & Medium:

The story of this photograph is in its vibrant color and textures—the luminous, silky water and the deep, saturated greens of the moss. To bring this scene to life, my choice for this print is the Hahnemühle FineArt Baryta Satin. This museum-grade paper has an elegant, soft satin finish that is ideal for "wet" scenes. It will make the moss-covered rocks and the dark, wet log look rich and tactile, while giving the cascading water a beautiful, pearlescent glow.

"The fallen log on Roaring Forks" is available in sizes up to 24x30 inches. Please contact me directly for custom sizes, framing, or other medium requests.
