Waterfall Wednesday 2/25/2026

Welcome to another round of falling water. If its wet and following the laws of gravity its a good candidate for posting in this thread

My example for today is a scene along the East Fork of the Wallowa River in eastern Oregon. Taken during a spring visit a number of years back.

Roaring Billy Falls, also in Mt. Aspiring National Park in New Zealand. The trail from the parking lot leads through dense forest to the edge of the river, and the waterfall is on the other side of it.

This is Latourell Falls in the Columbia River Gorge. It's a low flow in this shot from mid summer, but at other times it's a real gusher.

You weren't kidding about the roaring part with these falls. That looks like serious lens wiping territory with all the spray in the air.

That is a pretty delicate flow for Latourell. Not likely that's what those falls would look like if you went up there today after the rains we just had. I have now measured over 7" of rain this month at my house and its a given the Cascades got far more than that.

Deception Falls in the Cascades. Not the best light to capture a waterfall ...

Definitely a serious recovery job but you did manage to balance the light for them anyway. Nice falls.
