Falls in fall

[Doug P]

This is the upper cascade just before the long fall of Burney Falls. I love this falls because it is spring fed. Even during the deepest parts of the drought in CA it ran at almost 380 liters a day! If you have never been and live in the northern CA area, it is a must see.

I like these falls. The amount of vegetation distributed across the cascades is striking.

So judging by the amount of vegetation thriving at the edges the flow is not dramatically increased by snowmelt and is somewhat constant? Snowmelt cycles would wash those plants away every spring and those appear well established.

Beautiful!

Yes Alan. It is constant so melt would not increase the flow. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burney_Falls

Hey Doug, Burney Falls is a place I keep hoping to go and shoot. I do like that waterfall a lot. Is there a best season to shoot it? It sounds like from what you said it's not a water flow issue, so wondering if there is any preference you have?

This is very nice.

It is nice to see this version, Doug. I have only seen the lower falls and didn't even know about these.

This is a beautiful shot, thanks for sharing!

Jim, fall is a great time. The flow does not change seasonally since it is spring fed. But color in the vegetation does for sure...
