Waterfall Wednesday 2/8/2023

My starter falls for today is a scene along the Sweet Creek trail from the fall of 2021. This is likely the closest I have come to peak fall color along that creek with a good water flow rate.

Pile on with your own falling water imagery

From a pleasant but strenuous walk on Monday. I have seen this stream many times but have never photographed it as it is usually just a continuous ribbon of spray. The tiny Hamlet at the bottom, Seathwaite, is the wettest inhabited location in the country with 140" of rain a year so getting here when it hasn't really rained for a fortnight is rare. Many more images will be posted but at the moment I will post 2 detail shots taken at the bottom of the main cascade, just over half way up the hill, on the phone shot. Trying to get into a good position was tricky, trying to get into the best was too dangerous. Ken

Beautiful detail shots from the base of the cascades - can't wait to see more. The amount of rain you describe is almost the same as the Olympic Peninsula rainforests but what an incredible difference in the surrounding vegetation when you compare the two locales. Fascinating.

Neat view of the AF River and I don't recall seeing this scene with the large cliff behind it before. Nice.

You should have just told us you used the perfect shutter speed to freeze the water action over the falls Nice one Dan.

Another frozen falls - Upper Johnston Canyon Falls in Banff, late winter.

If we were having a frozen falls competition you want this one hands down. That looks crazy cold.
