Elakala Waterfalls
Cross Lanes, WV - Troy and Rusty Lilly from Cross Lanes, West Virginia just outside of the state capitol of Charleston, West Virginia captured the below image at Elakala Waterfalls in September 2007. The father of the father and son team states "The water was low from the recent drought, which is why the whirlpool was low and swirling slow enough to be photographed"
