Here’s a wider view showing the main part of the Cooleemee Dam with water rushing over it (Yesterdays image was to the left of this one.)
I may have mentioned in previous posts of photos from this location that this dam was originally built for an old textile mill. The mill has long since disappeared but [...]

Since the middle of December the temperatures here have been about 11°F below average. This last week has been especially cold with the lows falling into the upper teens and highs hovering around freezing. I mention this because I often make a trip to Cooleemee River Park (Bullhole), near my home, when there are extremes [...]

I woke a little later then normal this morning and proceeded with my normal morning routine–put on coffee, feed the dogs (giving Foster his anti-seizure medicine), checking email and reading blog feeds. I’d decided yesterday if this morning was clear I’d drive over to the Cooleemee River Park (Bull Hole) and see how high the [...]

Old bridge ruins, Yadkin River
Ever go through up and down mood swings with your photography–boy I do! I sometimes mistakenly believe my intellectual, emotional and creative levels should remain constant when in fact they’re forever changing.
Nothing stands still. Take the scene in this photograph for example. There’s the stone column standing on the waters edge [...]

What perfect fall weather we experienced this past weekend–it reminded me why this is my favorite time of year.
Friday, I drove to Cooleemee River Park to take photos. This was my first visit to this location since spring. I arrived early enough to capture the morning light as it settled on the dam and falls. [...]

The above photo was made at the Cooleemee River Park (Bull Hole), Cooleemee, NC. I usually visit the park ever couple of weeks because it’s close to home and there always subjects for making interesting photos.
I tailored post processing on this photo to give a far eastern feel and overall am pleased with the results.

Have you noticed when out making photos you’ll seldom see wildlife until you remove a long lens and put on a shorter or extra-wide lens. Happens to me all the time. Just this morning I was shooting along the river and as soon as I switched from a 300mm zoom lens to an ultra-wide lens [...]

It was later in the morning as I pulled into Riverview Park and I knew the light would not be the best for capturing the dam and falls. I’d hesitated on photographing at all this morning what with my spring allergies being bad the last couple of days. However, I’ve also been feeling guilty [...]

As any who follow this blog might know, I often visit and photograph at the Cooleemee Riverside Park (Bull Hole) located on the South Yadkin River near the small town of Cooleemee, NC.
While usually interesting, it’s especially so after a few days of rain–such as we just experienced.
By contrast, in dry periods little or no [...]
