Thunder Bay waterfall-Lake Galena Illinois time lapse

On my latest trip, stopped by the Thunder Bay Road waterfall/spillway. Since they had about 2-3 days of rain and snow, I knew Lake Galena would be spilling it's banks. I was not disappointed except for the excessive spray coming from the falls. The wind was whipping up the mist and carrying it towards me and my position on many occasions. I hope to return this summer and capture it during it's summer or fall bloom.

Falling Springs Waterfall in Dupo, IL, near St. Louis - 40 Foot!

This is a 40-foot waterfall located just about 10-15 minutes from the St. Louis Arch. What a beautiful spot! Unfortunately its status is currently unknown. The land is owned by a rock quarry which is currently digging on either side of this stretch of bluff near Dupo, IL. In the past you could walk up to it and play in the water and pool at the base of the waterfall, but now the land is fenced off with no trespassing signs.

Hundley House bed and breakfast - Carbondale, IL

This interesting and historic house fills the senses with nostalgia. A Craig Myrtle tree grows in the side yard. The owner accomodates a wonderful time by his welcoming personality. I recommend staying in this historic house. The original owners died in 1928 by murder in the house. The website:
