"The Glory Hole"....

[Richard51]

My daughter and I took a hike this past week to a place in Newton County, Arkansas U.S.A that is very unique. It's called, "The Glory Hole". I have no idea how it got it's name. But, if you like Mother Natures surprises, you would love this one!! It's about a two mile hike, (round trip) over some rough terrain, but WORTH IT!! Going down the mountain side you come across this stream, and following it for a ways you approach a "bluff". Just before you "drop off" the bluff, the stream has worn away the rock and the stream pours into a large hole in the rock (first picture). You can then work your way around and down the bluff where you discover the "underside of the stream"!!! It is an awesome sight as the water just falls in a curtain out of the hole. Just thought I would share these pictures with those of you that love the oddities in nature. God does good, doesn't He?

Did you think about doing any PS work to it to make it really "pop"??
No need but was just wondering?

Richard... check this out. I hope you don't mind. Just giving you an idea. This only took me like 1 minute and all I did was "Auto Levels" and "Auto Contrast"
