Mingo Falls

Mingo Falls II

Cherokee, NC · early September 2026

A wider view of Mingo Falls — more water and rock with forest floor in the foreground, seen from further down the trail.
Further down and wider — more water, more rock, more forest floor between me and the fall. Same afternoon as the last one, different distance. I liked the noise of it up close. Not every frame from a place is looking for the quiet version.
