Savage Gulf and other TN State Parks are technically closed on Monday and Tuesday because of budget cuts. I forgot and drove up to Gruetli-Laager to hike a bit.
There was a sign reminding me about the State Parks being closed, but also a specific sign saying the Collins West trail section was icy, dangerous, and closed.
So, I went in anyway, but only down to Suter Falls [ large view ]
where the falling icicles and treacherous trail persuaded me not to risk life, limb, and a citation from a ranger.

Dan,
Via Bifurcated Rivets, there some digital filters to simulate standard studio filters.
'Course it's a Win32 thang, but it does seem to clean up some of the "heat" in some of my shots. There's no "digital polarizer" but LOTS of neat filters.

You bastard! Although, dang it, I didn't bring my laptop today, so I can't put up my photo of the "Sweet Cheeses" delivery van, one of the reasons I prefer this area.

[edit history]
Gotta agree about the filters and I probably have a polarizer around here. There's lots of room in the tiny case I'm using for the S110, so carrying some equipment isn't a big issue.
If I wanted to make you homesick, I'd link to something like this or this or, if I was feeling really vicious, this guy running Bald River Falls.

Aight, Dan, let's see if this one, taken on Amnicola Highway, makes you any more homesick.

Stop it! You're making me home-sick.
Since one of my projects today is buying some filters, might I suggest a cheap polarizer (do some test shots in the camera store, you might not even need a circular polarizer for the S100) and/or a graduated ND filter that you can hold in front of the S100 to try to get a bit of detail in the sky?
(Yeah, I know, lugging that stuff starts to mean that the S100 is no longer the easily portable device it once was, which is why I haven't been carrying those toys for mine).

if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
