Waterfall Wednesday 7/15/2020

[AlanLichty]

Its Wednesday so time for another waterfall pile on thread.

Doug posted a link to a neat history of a small grotto along the Historic Columbia River Highway named Shepperd's Dell a couple of weeks ago (Shepperd's Dell). I have stopped there just about every time I have driven along that roadway but had never seen the full story behind the place. Turns out that the property that George Shepperd donated for the highway also included a small unnamed stream nearby so I decided to dig out some shots of it. I have posted a version of the second image before but toss in another version for today.

A midwinter view of the stream - hard to see through all of the leaves in the summer:

And one showing the historic stone guard rails for scale:

Shooting this water feature isn't exactly the safest thing to do since the roadway is rather narrow with a blind turn nearby and no road shoulder at all. Not something to try on a crowded weekend

Pile on with your own falling water.

This is the same location as last week, Combe Gill in the Lake District. Firstly another take on the watermill. I prefer the angle of the watermill in this sot but can't exclude the sky.

The next shot is from much further up the valley, beyond the deep canyon.

Lastly just where the beck drops out of the Combe (Cirque), two different styles of processing, I can't decide which I prefer and that usually means that they are both poor.

Thanks for starting this Alan, and good start. Ken, I prefer the last version as it is plenty dark enough while the preceding one seems too dark for my taste.

Here is another view of Little Deer Creek in the Unitas.

Great shots everyone .. here is one looking up the Boreas River, Adirondacks from a different location than where I posted the B/W earlier today.
I have already planned a fall shot here in the same location there will be some color on top..

These are really sweet, Alan.

That mill is super cool looking Ken! I prefer #4 over #3, but I would just crop the blue sky out of #4.

This one goes way back to the days of Canon 10D. Snoqualmie falls about 40mins drive east of Seattle.

This is Myrtle Falls in Mt. Rainier National Park, WA

I love the color of the rocks here, Dean. Nice light too.

Very nice update to this neat scenic area, Alan.

 

[JimFox]

This is a photo from a week ago, the drainage from Dream Lake on it's way to Bear Lake has lot's of cascades and small waterfalls. It makes for such a pleasant trail.
