Dream In Color

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything, so I figured I should get around to showing some new photos of mine.

These photos are from the most recent outing of mine, a quick trip up to the Blue Hole with John Moore.

John and I met at the Wal-Mart parking lot in Russellville around 6:30 in the morning and headed up to the Blue Hole, not far from Jerusalem, Arkansas.

The Blue Hole is somewhat of a hidden gem in Arkansas. From what I have seen online not many photographers visit this beautiful location. This, to me, is a bit surprising considering all the Blue Hole has to offer.

The Blue Hole has two major waterfalls which are approximately 10ft in height and 30-40ft in width. They are cascading falls and slowly roll over a series of boulders and drops as the water rumbles downstream.

They both are truly unique waterfalls and have so many different angles and variations that one could photograph them all day. Unfortunately, I had to be back in town by one o’clock. Although, it was quite sunny outside and it became hard to photograph the falls in anyways.

John had a hunch about a particular hollow that might contain a series of waterfalls. On the way out, he and I took this small detour. Upon arriving at the hollow we were quite surprised to find not one, not two, but a HUGE amount of waterfalls cascading down a runoff. John and I were quite amazed that we may have been the first photographers to have ever seen this place. We both, pretty much, vowed that we would return in the spring.

The Hollow itself was quite a site to see, at one particular point the ground went straight into the hillside and opened up into a large cavernous outcropping that contained a huge ~30-50ft waterfall, it was hard to see because we were on top looking down. Unfortunately, we were running out of time. However, the scenery around the falls was quite dead already so it would be a better place to visit in the spring anyways.

On the way back into town we stopped for a few quick shots from an overlook. Nuclear 1 can be seen in the distance.

I had a great time with John, he’s an amazing photographer and it was an honor to get to spend the morning alongside him shooting this awesome location. If you would like to see his photography, which I strongly encourage, then check out his website at: http://www.mooremonkeys.com
