A Slice of Heaven Pie - a photo on Flickriver

            When Mum Nature wrings her hands together tectonic plates collide creating upheaval and mountain ranges are formed that tower above all and in Winter do gather snow.  Come Spring the gray skies are replaced by the great yellow orb splaying warmth and hope to all but upon these peaks it begats the birth of rills, creeks, and then rivers which migrate down and sometimes, sometimes they carve out slices of beauty that words or photos cannot express or convey.  

On approach to Falls Creek Falls I was standing in near darkness looking up into light so bright that I couldn't see, angels were singing, I swear, it was awe inspiring.  I instantly wrote off getting a photo, but after driving 3 1/2 hours to get here I thought I'd give it a try anyway.  I was thrilled when I got home and dropped highlights that I had anything at all and man, I'll take those blown highlights any day to get this.  I make it a point to never lead with my best, but I have been staring at this all day, can't wait to see it on here, hope you folks like it too.  
Happy Opening Day!!! 
ps Blow it up Large...  :)
