“I’ve always been fascinated by waterfalls. There’s something about them that excites our senses far beyond most other natural subjects,” said Kevin Adams, acclaimed Western North Carolina outdoor photographer and author.
“Some say it’s the sight of moving water, some the sound.”
Adams also suggested that many enthusiasts — known as “waterfallers” — cite a theory that negative ions created by falling water provide special emotional stimulus and feelings of tranquility.
“You won’t find many mainstream scientists supporting such notion,” he conceded.
“I suspect it has something to do with the fact that waterfalls affect four of our senses. We feel the cool spray. We smell the freshness. We hear the falling water. And, of course, we see the beauty.”
After seeking out and shooting more than 1,000 waterfalls in WNC, Adams has become the preeminent waterfall expert and photographer of our region. He recently released the third edition of his book “North Carolina Waterfalls.” The hiking and photography guide is the resounding authority on the subject.
