Viewpoint / by Dave Hileman

This stream flows from deep underground in Mammoth Cave National Park. The cave itself is well worth more than a single visit for there are many types of tours you can take in the world’s longest known cavern system. They discover more every year. This shot is still in the park but I am hiking up a steep ridge away from the river and there was a viewing platform perched on the side of the cliff. I reached over the side and shot this stream that flows to the river, it may or may not included a step or two past the railing. I liked the gentle bend of the stream and the shadows of the trees. You would not see much of this in the summer through the leaf canopy.
