Shadows on the Path

This is part of the path to Rainbow Falls in North Carolina's Gorges State Park. I took this as we hiked out and the sun was a little lower on the horizon thus casting these awesome shadows across the path. I was feeling a little guilty for dragging my wife and her sister on this hike that was a little more than we bargained for. I'd walk up ahead about a hundred yards, stop and turn around with my tripod and then take a couple of pictures until I saw them coming up the path. Then I'd motor on and repeat the process a little further up the way. In this manner I got a lot of shots of the trail and this is one of my favorite.
