Lake Rabun looked beautiful today. The serene beauty – the mountains in the background, the picture perfect water – made it look like we were in Europe!

This is less of a giant waterfall and more of a series of cascades. It is like nature created a lot of consecutive steps – each about 3-4 feet high – and then let water fall over it. Looks beautiful.
We drove for about 2 hours thru some beautiful parts of rural Georgia and quite some dirt roads to reach the spot. The parking was a bit of a problem but we made it.

I understand Minnehaha means a waterfall in Dakota (a language spoken by the Sioux tribe).

On our way down from Mount Yonah, stopped at our old dig at Pelican Pete. Good music and food. And a great day…

There is no editing in this picture. The sky and the water were both glorious blue…

It is that time of the year in Georgia. The grapes are starting to get full and will be harvested soon…

Neither Sharmila nor I can claim to be big fans of Georgia wine. So, our expectations were fairly low. We got a glass of red wine each from either end – the most full bodied one and the lightest one. Surprisingly, we enjoyed it. Staring at the impressive Mount Yonah might have something to do with it!

First visit to get a good view of Mount Yonah (which I believe means “Bear” in Cherokee language). In the foreground, you can see the grape vines of Mount Yonah Winery. It is a beautiful winery.
