Ah, I think the "opposition in all things" principle applies here: If there's great ugliness, there's got to be great beauty...and your photos prove it. And the family shot is definitely a keeper - large print, stunning frame.
ReplyDeleteI'll take that kind of hell.
ReplyDeleteI bet you don't have to go too high to get past the riff-raff. ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, that family shot is definitely frame-worthy.
What a gorgeous place! I guess there's always a bit of danger/dirt involved with romantic-looking places like that. You're lucky to have a waterfall close to home; I'm jealous!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great place for a hike, and, after all, you can always step over the bodies
ReplyDeleteIf I were to picture a family portrait of the Branch family hanging on a wall, that is exactly what I would picture. Loved the passed out guy.
