The Little Tallahatchie River

in #photography7 years ago

The colors in nature are stunning. I find beautiful places that can only be seen from up above the ground. Once morning as I was flying westbound at a couple thousand feet above ground, just after sunrise on a clear winter morning I came upon this view. These colors were stunning to see when flying above them!

The Tallahatchie River runs 230 miles (370 km) from Tippah County, down through Tallahatchie County, and on to Leflore County, where it flows into the Yalobusha River to form the Yazoo River. The river is only navigable for 100 miles (160km). 

Tallahatchie is a First Nations Choctaw name meaning "Rock of Waters." This name derives from the source of the Tallahatchie River which has outcrops of iron sandstone.

 From "Where Eagles Fly - The American Wilderness Expedition" my personal project of exploration in the North American Wilderness.  I am on a mission to raise awareness of our Iconic Natural Heritage Treasures of North America. 

Yehaw!!
