Mobile In Maine
So back around 2018 when I got my first Dodge Charger I started driving a lot more. I would go on these excursions a few times a week, and travel to all these rural areas pretty much anywhere within a one hundred mile radius of my house.
I started doing a little photography and whenever I saw something that I thought was cool or interesting in some way I would snap a picture of it – ultimately ending up with hundreds.
Initially I had a pretty decent camera but it got damaged and I replaced it with some low-end waterproof thing from Staples; it still did take some fairly decent pictures though.

Me and a friend took a trip to Hobbit Land – about five minutes away.
Actually Hobbit Land is probably closer to ten minutes away by the time you drive through the city and all, and the one-hundred-mile radius estimate isn't exactly right either because I know on many occasions it was closer to two hundred. Way up north, the next state over, and the Canadian border, yeah, that's a lot closer to two hundred.

I have no idea where(I could guess), but you see a lot of that around here.

My trip to Angel Falls. It's about 2 hours away and maybe a half hour hike. As I remember, I'd say the level of difficulty for the hike is short but moderate:

I only wish I could visit.... my heart longs to be there... my late wife would have been glowing in such a setting...
However the cattle... not so much... I spent too much time on a ranch.. me and cows... nope... I'm done with that.

I love it, other than the falls, it looks like it could be from around here in NE Alberta, Canada.
I’m surrounded by Spruce trees and across the road from a lake. Unfortunately almost all the leaves have fallen from the deciduous trees and it will soon be cold and frozen.
But as I try to say to myself “It has its own beauty”…
Stay safe and keep sending pics of your travels.

The waterfall looked nice and I wanted to get my hair wet. I got up to it as close as I could and stretched out a bit, but the rock was at a steep angle and mossy and I slipped off and fell in this unbelievably deep little area right under the fall. I'm 6' and I went down a ways and then had resurface tread water with all my gear on, and then climb back up this slippery slanted slate. I had no idea how deep the water was in that little area and I had to work really hard to get out of that precarious predicament I was in to avoid drowning.
