Waterfall Wednesday 9/8/2021

Almost hard to believe but I think today marks 4 years worth of Waterfall Wednesdays.

That said - time for more

My starter falls for today are Heavenly Falls from a late fall visit to the Portland Japanese Garden. Most of the fall leaves had already dropped but this one tree next to the falls was still putting on a color show and begging for a portrait.



Pile on with your own images of falling water.

I am having to dig deep to find any waterfall shots. Rainfall this year has been very low and today I am hiding in the house as it is 80+F outside, strange weather for us. Two images from Aberfeldy in central Scotland taken 5 years apart. Ken

Alan that waterfall looks too perfect, is it partially artificial? The autumn colours are terrific. Ken

Both of these are beautiful falls. I love the fall leaves along the banks in the first image and the wonderful greens and light in the second.

Not partially artificial - it is entirely artificial as a part of the water features in the Portland Japanese Garden. There is a pumping station as the lowest point in the garden that moves the water to the top of these falls where gravity takes over to feed the water features at lower elevations on its way back down to the pump. The rocks and the nearby plantings (like this tree) are entirely planned out by the garden designers.

Thanks for starting this Alan, and you and Ken have provided some outstanding examples of water under the force of gravity.

Here is my contribution. I am not short of images, just short of images from different locations. This is the stand by American River

Beautiful scene with the fall leaves Ben. Nice work with the water textures as well.

Guess what? I found another waterfall image. This one is along Fossil Creek in Arizona.

Wonderful flowing water images, as usual. Looks like everyone has fall colors in their sights already.

Mine is from lower Wallace falls in the Cascades.

Neat waterfalls Jameel - I have driven past this place in the winter but have never been there in other seasons and stopped for these falls.

Some Eastern Sierra flow

Sneffels Creek in SW Colorado

This is definitely busy, but that's what it looks like.

And some wonderful fall leaves to liven up the scene. Nice one Dan.

Definitely busy but most natural scenes like this are anyway. Neat having the small yellow blooms down in front too.

Thanks Alan. It struck me as busy scene, but not a busy distracting scene with dead branches, etc all around where the eye doesn't know where to focus.

Ken, I really love the 2nd one. The lush green is the perfect drop for the silky smooth waterfalls.

Here is mine: Mossbrae Falls

Really nice to get the rainbow off of these falls. These falls have always been fascinating to me where the water seems to come from nowhere.
