Description
Taken along the Murphy River Walk, this color photograph shows the muddy water of the Valley River and the very threatening clouds in the sky above the river. Normally the water in Valley River is clear enough to see the rocks and an occasional trout, but after several days of some very heavy rains, the water can become quite muddy.
After several days of heavy rains, my daughter and I were becoming restless and decided to venture out as soon as the rain ended. Eventually the rain did stop so we headed to walk the River Walk Trail in Murphy, North Carolina. When we reached this section of the trail and stopped to take a photo, we saw the clouds which were building back up in the sky. Cutting our walk short, we headed back to the parking area. The bottom dropped out of thes clouds within 15 minutes of reaching the car.
Murphy is located in the mountains of Western North Carolina in Cherokee County.
