Waterfall Wednesday 2/9/2022

[AlanLichty]

My starter falls for today are a small scene from Proxy Falls near the McKenzie River in the Oregon Cascades. Taken on a rather rainy day a number of years ago.

Pile on with your own waterfall imagery

Huge falls and I love the delicate detail brought out by your chosen shutter speed. Ken

Moss Force from last Wednesday. Probably my last trip out just to take some waterfalls. I will still try and get waterfalls within a landscape and if I vist any locations with spectacular falls I am sure that I won't be able to stop myself. Moss Force is a series of mostly joined cascades andfalls 300+ft high that can be seen and photographed from the road and the second image was taken from a short distance from my car. The others required scrambling up and down the hills.

Top part of the falls. I have previously tried to get closer but very sketchy underfoot.

Middle part of the falls almost joins onto the bottom of the previous image.

A bit of clambering brought me to this part which is the bottom part of the previous image.

Under this image the beck plunges into a deep chasm that is too difficult to enter but you catch glimpses of cascades and falls.

This is the last little fall at the bottom of the chasm and it has a pleasing shape. By this time it was raining and the wind gusting to tricky levels so time to clamber back up the hillside to my car and home. Ken

That's quite an amazing set of cascades Ken - and from the sounds of it quite the adventure to try to capture all of it. Glad you did so we could share the views

Alan, thanks for starting this, and what a great set of images from you and Ken. Ken, I hope you have a good stash of waterfalls to show us here if you are cutting back. Thats why I only show one at a time, to preserve my stash.

Here is one I took in 2012. It's a series of pour offs just upstream of Provo River Falls.

Nice one Ben - I am with you on preserving a stash as we have been doing this every Wednesday for close to 4 1/2 years now. That's a lot of waterfalls

Well it's not a big waterfall. It's already difficult to find water in the area where I am, so imagine finding waterfalls ! But I like the water color. Salt River, Az

Two recent waterfalls (Dry Falls and Schoolhouse Falls) on days that were a mite chilly.....

This works - most of the waterfalls around the Phoenix area consist of water flowing over the concrete spillways at the dams along the Salt and Verde Rivers.

Nice Stephen - a mite chilly you say? Looks downright cold to me with those ice formations.

Yes, at the second fall it had warmed all the way up to 18 degrees by the time I was there (Hike is about 3 miles round trip and my jeep was the only vehicle in the parking lot early in the morning of this very popular fall). Not sure of the temp for the first pic but it had been around 12 degrees the night before. I like frozen waterfalls!

Christine Falls from Mt Rainier NP. The classic composition includes the bridge on top. This is a tighter composition.

Stunning scene Dan - I never get tired of these falls.

Beautiful falls Jameel - I have never stopped to shoot these falls in spite of my many visits to Rainier NP. I need to make amends for that next time I go up there.
