The Panther Branch bridge was destroyed during a catastrophic flood on the Tellico River in 2023. Its remains now sit in ruins along the river. The hiking trail’s future is uncertain. #tennessee #ruins #abandoned #bridge #cherokeenationalforest #flood #river #appalachia

After being closed for a little over 2 years, the new Bald River Falls bridge was opened to the public in May. I visited this June and got to the mountains before 7AM to avoid the crowds. #tellicoplains #tennessee #waterfalls #waterfallsofbluesky #nature #photography #baldriverfalls

The old Tallent Drug Store was located in downtown Madisonville, TN and closed around 2007 when Walgreens came to town. My family used this drug store for years until it went out of business. Picture taken in 2007. #madisonville #Tennessee #downtown #Appalachia #oldpics #2000s

Cornfield outside of Maggie Valley, North Carolina. Took this in either 2014 or 2015 while on the way to Asheville.

This old structure was struck by lightning years ago and bears scorch marks on the roof from this event. As for its purpose, I haven’t the foggiest. #abandoned #urbex #urbanexploration #tennessee #photography

Last week, I visited Bald River Falls for the first time in years. The river road had been washed away by catastrophic flooding 2 years ago and the bridge was replaced due to its age. #waterfall #tennessee #nature #cherokeenationalforest

It’s been while but I’ve finally returned with a new username. The MAGA echo chamber on Facebook is getting tiresome even moreso than usual, so I’ll come back here for a bit. #waterfall #nature #tennessee #backtobluesky

It’s been awhile since I was last on here and it will likely be the last time I’ll post on BlueSky. Truth is, I’m tired of social media and the inundation of negativity and politics. I’m tired of AI, most of all. I’ll be more active on Substack if you wish to follow me there. #leavingbluesky
