Historic Yates Mill County Park Tours and Activities

I finally got a DSLR camera and got this shot after a rainy day at Yates Mill. This is actually a small groove between some rocks at the mill, but the picture makes it look a little more spectacular. I'll take tips from any of you pros out there!

After heavy rains in the area I hoped for more water coming over the wall but nope. Anyway I decided to try and be different, not shoot the same scene as everyone else. Here it is!!!
Yates Mill
