Pictures of Hominy Creek

These pictures were taken by me at Hominy Creek in Asheville around 3:30 PM on Saturday. The spilling of the thousands of gallons of fuel into the creek started on Friday afternoon. No one was down at Hominy Creek Park when I was there, and there was no one on the part of the creek by the road leading to the park. 

 Close up of the single boom at the park - with both water and fuel going under the boom.

Picture of the entire boom just above, a picture of the sheen on the water just below the boom. It was directly headed to the French Broad River, never to be captured. It smelled strongly of fuel in the park on Saturday afternoon.
