If you've spoken to me in the past 2 weeks, you've heard me gush on and on about Falls Park. I've been to Greenville before, so was well aware that the city has much to offer by way of outdoor adventure. The city is small compared to the metropolitan giants in the neighboring states, but over the past few years, Greenville has become very industrial. Hence, I am quite surprised that it has been able to retain its artsy charm.
My first weekend here, I went out looking for an adventure - a park, or hiking trail...this city is full of them!
What I found, was Falls Park on the Reedy River. The river cuts through the center of the city, and forced early settlers to simply build around it. In the middle of West Main Street, yet tucked away from the chaos of Downtown, I found a piece of serenity. The moment you descend the steps on the Main Street side or walk towards the overhang on the Falls Street side, you are transported to a peaceful oasis.
Initially, all I could do was look around and try to drink it all in (I soon realized how futile this exercise was), but as I trekked the paths, and discovered more facets of the park's beauty, the blooming photographer in me went wild...and so, my amateur attempt to capture nature's bounty....through a camera lens.
