Waterfall Wednesday 2/7/2024

[AlanLichty]

I managed to get a good day last week to get up the Gorge for the winter waterfalls. Most of the snow that shut everything down had melted which helps feed the intermittent falls so exactly what I was hoping for. Low clouds were everywhere and made for a fitting scene with the clouds providing a misty view of Mist Falls. This was a stack of 7 images shot at 70mm.

Those kind of misty mornings just make me happy to live so close to such a beautiful place. Lovely image!

That is a really lovely shot Alan. The misty middle adds a relaxing mood.

Thanks - I have been in love with the Gorge ever since I moved up here 25 years ago and being able to fly with a camera has opened up a whole new way of capturing its beauty.

This is Burney Falls in Northern California. Captured just before sunrise to keep the contrast down.

Thanks Trent - the low clouds were definitely a bonus for this set of falls.

Very nice - I like this close in view of the cascades in this set of falls. Gives a different mood to the scene compared to the usual wide angle views.

The closest I could get to a waterfall this week was a crazy warm spell with rain coming down and the temperature just around freezing. This is weather I expect in March not late January. It will keep the orthopaedic departments busy with so many people slipping and breaking bones.
This is a view from my front window just after a few cars slid through the intersection.

So the people are the ones falling because of the water? Conditions like that are scary even if you put cleats on your boots.

Hmm. A definition of waterfall that I missed. Nice catch

I like the crop you did on this! So many little falls in one big one.

These are some waterfalls created by big surf in the Area just north of Bodega Bay along the California Coast

This image was taken 6 hrs ago. I went for a walk in very changeable conditions, rain, snow, hail and sunshine, this was rain. Lots more to come. Ken

Sweet - I like all of the cascades in this surf pour off. Makes a nice type of waterfall.

That is a fairly wet looking scene and not confined to the ground. The stormy conditions do make a nice scene out of these waterfalls.

Last week I had posted the upper falls in the Johnston Canyon in Banff. These are the lower falls. Not as frozen as the upper but still ....

Maybe not as frozen but quite beautiful with both flowing water and icicles. Nice.

Here are a couple on nice waterfalls from a trip to Iceland a few years ago.

Nice pair of falls Larry - I have seen quite a few waterfall images from Iceland and they never disappoint.

Love it Trent! This is a great way to push the boundaries.
