The Walls of Heaven

YouTube - Providence Canyon State Park: The Walls of Heaven

In this episode of 'Another Walk with Mike' our legs stumble upon a Georgia Gem that will purely amaze. I promise. You'll see canyon walls painted with bright brushstrokes. Shapes and figures and spirits carved into the Earth itself. You'll see remnants from an old homestead and a church with its canyon inhabitants. And you'll see Heaven.

You will see a sight that few know exists. It is Providence Canyon State Park and it stands as an example of Nature's beauty. My most recent film, 'The Gulf Is Alive', captured the vibrance of the Sea and what lives within its soul. This film, 'Providence Canyon State Park: The Walls of Heaven', presents to your eyes and to your soul a majestic masterpiece carved amongst the Georgia landscape.

I believe it will be a pleasant surprise for you to witness. It sure surprised me. In taking a trip to Atlanta from my costal Florida home, I decided to search for a piece of adventure. I found it. As with all of my journeys, I hope to find salient, soulful sights. One was certainly found here. And as with all of my findings, I hope that you witnessing my film will serve as a means to preserve the natural wonders I capture. I hope my film will inspire within you a further appreciation for the little pieces of Heaven that we have here on Earth.

Enjoy!

Hey guys. I just wanted to let you know that I had an amazing swim from about 4 o'clock to 6. I had some neat Octopus encounters and found soome unusual marine wildlife.

I may go out tomorrow and will put together a nice video soon. I can't wiat to tell you what the Octopus did today. Neat stuff.

But hey, what about this Providence Canyon area. Is that beautiful or what and how come I had never heard of it before. Come to find out it is called one of the 7 wonders of Georgia and something like Georgia's Grand Canyon.

Regardless, it was a sancuary for me. It soothed me and is a place I will certainly return to. I hope you guys are enjoying the film. I'll have another one soon.

Mike, that reminded me of Zion in Utah. Also, the music was a perfect fit. Another enjoyable video. Just amazing.

Mike, that reminded me of Zion in Utah. Also, the music was a perfect fit. Another enjoyable video. Just amazing.

In 07' I was suppose to hit Arches, Zion, Canyonlands, Bryce (I think) and the Grand Canyon. But weather allowed us only to visit Arches and Canyonlands, along with Mesa Verde.

I called my brother and exclaimed my enthusiasm for 'The Grand Canyon of Georgia'. It was very peaceful. The trail I walked on was approximatley 3 miles, but I walked into every canyon so my walk may have been 6 or more.

It was a spur of the moment trip. There are so many wonderful expressions of Heaven that are out there and I'd love to explore as many as I can. This definately proved to be one and I am happy that you feel the same way.

Regarding the music, I agree it was a good fit. It is taking me some time to get music to my videos. Youtube offers a new service, allowing users to select from their files, but the files are lacking and if it is too small for your video you are out of luck.

I'd love to use songs that we all know and love or better yet, to put my own music up there. I'd love to make some acoustic phrasings specifically for my videos, but I don't have a means to get my sound onto the computer right now.

If someone can help me to get some stuff recorded, I'd appreciate it. I have a recorder but can't get the music from it to my laptop.

For those of you who appreciate the adventure of my ways, I came across a movie picked up from Movies by the Sea as it was going out of business. The movie is an independent film made just this year, and one I'd never heard of. But it is a gem.

'The Art of Travel'. The film will inspire and you will live in its breath. I enjoyed it and will watch it again soon. I was lucky to come upon it and just wanted to share. Hope you get a chance to watch it soon.

Hey Franny. Providence Canyon is south of Columbus, in Lumpkin. Coming south from Atlanta it wasn't very out of the way at all coming back to Seagrove Beach. Wel worth any diversion, I assure you.

There is limited camping there that I'd like to take advantage of and further explore the area. Camping however is by permit only, as is the 7 mile hiking route where the camping sites exist.

If you aren't capable or interested in making the hike down into the valley, the canyon is viewable from above with magnificient vatage points. Right along the main road of the park you can walk and gain views from there at overlooks. But walking down was a treat to see the canyon walls, as the video represents.

Thanks for watching.

Thanks a million. Yes, Zion and Bryce are on the list. For some reason Yosemite has been calling me for years. Wow, I'd have to split that up into multiple videos.

One day I may venture out and just travel from place to place, visiting the entire country so to speak. One day... so often said by so many. But I believe it is possible for me to do, especially since I seem to be doing something special now. Even though my adventures have been mostly isolated here along the 30A area, I could do worse

I think those who enjoy my videos will agree. Also, wow, my octopus sightings have been enjoyable. Can't wait to share. But I have been enundated with some other stuff and the skies aren't perfect for camera shots today anyway. I actually have enough footage from my free dives the past two days, but I'll see.

I think my next will be another good one Thanks again and take care.

I wanted to let you guys know some of the unique things I've been seeing of late out in the Gulf. I have video of a large Sea Slug and also a member of the sea horse family, a pipefish.

I will have these and some other neat sightings in an upcoming episode of 'Another Walk with Mike'.
