" The Snag "

Another shot from my Amicalola River shoot last Sunday morning. This was taken under the bridge, one of many piles of snags up and down the river. I guess we've had some good rain sometime recently. Very interesting since the river is hardly more than a couple feet deep in most places. I really liked the graphic quality of this shot along with the light. Hope you enjoy!!

" Amicalola River II "

Another beautiful shot of the river. I was just thinking back on my trip to the Amicalola and remembered that I didn't see a single piece of trash while I was there. That in itself was a great thing to see, I guess people really take care not to litter at a place like this. Thanks to all who took out all their trash. I usually have to pick up a piece or two from my shots, but not here.

The river is also one of the best trout fishing areas around, although it has some very stringent catch and release winter rules. Take a short ride and check this area out, it is well worth the trip. Hope you enjoy!!

" Amicalola River "

Good Morning. Well I got up yesterday at 4:30 AM, packed all my gear, got in the car and headed out. I wanted to go to a place a friend told me about, The End of the World. It is a section of rapids below GA Highway 53 on the Amicalola River. By far one of the easiest places I have ever been, just a short walk on a wooden boardwalk and an even shorter walk once the boardwalk ends.

This place is unbeleivable, the only bad part was by the time I arrived it had become solid overcast, not a real bad thing when shooting water. I was only able to cover some of the rapids as time permitted, but I will be back. I will post more as the week goes on. Directions from Marietta, go I-575 until it becomes Hwy 515, take to GA Hwy 53 east go about 2-3 miles past the Big Canoe commercial area and you will cross the Amicalola river, turn left into parking area and walk down the stairs. The End of the World is to your left.
Hope you enjoy!!
