From yesterday in North Yorkshire. I was going to stop taking waterfall images but the weather forecast was perfect for flowing water so I relented and enjoyed myself standing beside and in the middle of a few streams and one major river. The water levels were low but this allowed lots of detail to show through. This is West Burton falls. Two different colour balances, I may need to look again but this is the only place where I would post them together so perhaps it doesn't matter. Ken

Great shots, Ken. I love the mood, as well as the geology. I’m wondering what kind of rock the waterfall is flowing over and how it’s formed.

my favorite is No. 2.

I love the low water flows in both of these Ken - very delicate cascades in both views.

Limestone and shale

Limestone and shale. This area like most of Northern England and all of Scotland was subject to lots of glacial erosion. Yorkshire has lots of very extensive cave systems and disappearing and re-appearing rivers typical of limestone areas. However my geology knowledge is vanishingly small. Ken

Very nice images especially the second.

More from my Yosemite trip. This is the lower "veil" of Upper Yosemite Falls, taken at the OMG spot

Interesting to see the water frozen with a fast shutter speed in this scene. I am guessing there is a fair amount of wind associated with these falls.
