If you wanted to know what Jim looks like, well, here you go.<\/p>\n<p>Whaddya mean, &#8220;Where is he?&#8221; He&#8217;s right there! On the bank, over to the right, crouched by his tripod. Well, <em>of course<\/em> he&#8217;s wearing camo, because you can&#8217;t spook the falls if you want the really primo shots. No, there wasn&#8217;t any particular reason for camo on this trip, other than he found it the most comfortable &#8211; hey, ask him, not me. I purposefully shot the frame a little wider on this one to include him, and since it was a waterfall image, the shutter speed was intentionally slow, and Mr Fidget wasn&#8217;t holding still enough.<\/p>\n<p>Curiously, Upper and Lower Cascade Falls are the closest waterfalls to my location here, and I haven&#8217;t visited since &#8211; it&#8217;s been over 10 years. I really need to plan another trip out there. While I would also like to see a waterfall in freezing weather, I am quite certain that the trails to the falls would be extremely hazardous in such conditions, and the park is almost certainly closed when that happens. Looks like I&#8217;d have to get out the ice cleats, grappling hook, and black turtleneck&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I figured, as I ended the run of Jim&#8217;s pics, that I would feature this particular image of Lower Cascade Falls in Hanging Rock State Park in North Carolina, because this was a trip that Jim and I took together back before he abandoned the state.
