Flat Creek Falls, Flat Creek, Overton County, Tennessee 3

I posted a video these falls from the shore on the top left during the May floods. The video shows a vastly different creek than what's pictured here.

The bottom left, far shore depicts lots of bright orange gravel. This gravel, since the May and August floods, has inundated fields, roads and creeks. It's a jagged cherty limestone weathered from its parent rock unit, the Fort Payne Formation. Where we now see the orange gravel, we once saw sandy beach, grass, or rounded river stones. The rock I stood on to shoot this, and the cliff face on the right is also Fort Payne.

In the top right one can see the last sunbeams of the day breaking down into the small valley that Flat Creek sits in. The property this waterfall is on is for sale, but I don't think many people have visited it recently. I waded through knee, to over-my-head-high weeds, down what was once a gravel road to get here.

This is a three HDR panorama. Each HDR is comprised of 5 photos (+3/-3ev).
