Description
As dusk arrives at the end of a full day of picture taking, I always struggle with an insatiable urge to get one more shot. When this picture as the last shot of the day, walking back to the car in the dark doesn't seem so bad.
Viewed from the Whitewater Creek Trail, near the East Palisades Trailhead, a great blue heron gazes into the remnants of a glorious sunset as the Chattahoochee River flows through rocky shoals, toward the Interstate 75 bridge to the south.
For more information on the many trails that follow the magnificent Chattahoochee River, visit the National Park Service website at:
