After the Storm - A Hike to the Shanty Hollow Waterfall

 Strong storms blew through Kentucky in recent days dumping a lot of rain across the landscape. After dodging strong winds and heavy downpours my first instinct was to head up to Shanty Hollow and hike into the waterfall ravine which was sure to be flowing at full throttle.

I was not disappointed. The morning was still overcast which made for that soft diffused light photographers always crave and is best suited for a place like Shanty Hollow. Although I have witnessed the waterfall flowing at a high pitch in the past, this day's flow was certainly well inside the top five flows I've encountered there. 

Shanty Hollow always offers a wonderful respite...so come along with me as we hike into Shanty Hollows waterfall ravine. Please enjoy...'After the Storm.'
