The photo above shows a reflection of the Natural Bridge in the mountain stream running underneath it. Nestled between the Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountain ranges in western Virginia, Natural Bridge is approximately 215 ft (66 m) high and 90 feet (27 m) wide -- the rock forming the bridge is estimated to be about 100 million years old. Following a path along the stream will take you to a lost river, a salt peter cave, past beautiful flora, and even a lacy waterfall! It looks like the photo is upside down at first, but if you look closely, you can tell it's a simple but, nevertheless, an enchanting reflection.
