The Legend Of Sica Hollow III

Description

I am trying to convince my husband to drive back here in the next few weeks, this time WITH my tripod.. then I can try some long exposures on these beautiful creeks..

This shot was taken in Sica Hollow State Park, SD.. It is one of my favorite spots to visit, even though it is notorious for it's "unusual" happenings.. The Sioux Indians named it Sica Hollow, sica translated meaning evil or bad, and have many folklore that include this beautiful area.. The park in filled with many natural springs and beautiful creeks that run though it, the Sioux believed that the red tint to the water was actually due to the blood that was shed on these lands many years ago.. Many people believe that the park is filled with supernatural forces at work, many times while visiting the park, you will hear the faint sounds of drums, some say it is still the spirits of the Sioux Indians that are trapped there.. Regardless of what you believe, the land has a legendary past and to this day is one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited..
