Waterfall Wednesday 12/8/2021

Time for more waterfalls

My starter falls for this morning are the very first set of falls you encounter after leaving the trailhead at Sweet Creek. I wish you could get below the falls and shoot upstream but you would need a chain mail suit to keep from being shredded by the blackberry thickets. Taken a few weeks ago with a bit of fall in the air (and on the ground).

Pile on with your own waterfall images.

White River, adjacent to the White River campground in Mount Rainier NP. I'd call this image Muddy Water but that would be too easy.

Cascades from the Blackwater River, Northern Scotland. At first sight it looks like an ideal location with the almost flat smooth slabs of rock allowing good access and multiple locations until you stand on them and find that they are dangerously slippery even with ice spikes on my boots. Ken

Lovely image Alan. I went for a walk on Sunday and got into trouble in a Bramble ( Blackberry) thicket now I have a lovely down jacket with 3 long slashes so can only agree with you about the need for chain mail. Ken

Nice - the rivers flowing off of Rainier are almost all muddy all of the time

Beautiful place Ken - I can see why they call it Blackwater. Sounds treacherous to shoot in cold weather.

Alan it is a black mould on the rocks and is present irrespective of temperature. Ken

Even worse - that's year round slipperiness.

Thanks for starting this Alan, and what a great set everyone has posted so far.

Here is one of mine from the archives. Fern falls in North Idaho

These falls are in the North Fork Coeur d'Alene river drainage. Its a 4 mile dirt road to get to them. I have many images from here and there are two sets of falls.

The Upper Falls pour off at Gooseberry Falls with the North Shore drive bridge in the background. This is in Minnesota along the North Shore of Lake Superior.

Neat falls - I like the way the water goes up and over the rocks down in front.

Not sure if this has a name. This was taken near Ridgeway in Colorado.

Beautiful falls even if they aren't named. Nice water flow to go along with the notable fall colors.

These falls look really nice with the fallen leaves along the banks and the remaining patches of colors still on the branches.
