Welcome to another Waterfall Wednesday :)

Last spring there were quite a few storms that dictated me using US101 to go around the Mt. Shasta area instead of driving up I-5 so I spent a couple nights on the coast before driving back to Vancouver. One of my stops was in the Florence area so I paid a visit to my favorite local waterfall complex along Sweet Creek. This was right at the tail end of what I would call peak moss season with the deep shades of green decorating the scene.


Pile on with your own falling water images.

Beautiful, Alan. I see you don't ever get "beautiful waterfall fatigue"!

I have almost ran out of waterfalls but have 2 left that you haven't seen. The first is a slightly different take on a previously posted fall. Someone pointed out that the waterfall faced left out of the scene. This version faces to the right, a strange idea that waterfalls point in a direction. The next is a waterfall that is hidden behind foliage. It looks as though it could be wonderful but I am not skilled or brave enough to climb down to a good position. I am going to Glencoe next month so may be able to photograph waterfalls set against winter mountains, but only if the underfoot conditions allow. Ken

The lighting and contrasts in the first image are quite nice and I love the composition and colors in the second image Ken.

That’s a great one Alan, and yeah that moss looks like it’s invading!

Both are great! The B&W in the first is really cool, I enjoy your touch with process those. I also like the balance in the second, the tree trunks on the left and the waterfall on the right.

If you are running out of waterfall photos, I will be sad as your take on them is always special. Maybe you need to plan a local waterfall trip before your trip next month? :)

The weather since the turn of the year has been grim. Yesterday for instance we had winds gusting to 80mph and 4" of rain in the afternoon. I am sure that the people in Australia would love weather like this. Ken

That first one is elegant, Ken.
