Waterfall Wednesday 7/23/2025

[AlanLichty]

Welcome to another round of Waterfall Wednesday. Fell free to add whatever you have depicting falling water no matter the source or venue.

My waterfalls for today are from an early summer visit to the Portland Japanese Garden with a view of Heavenly Falls. Late spring and early summer features a lot of blooms of azaleas and rhododendrons flanking the falls. These falls are not seasonal as all of the garden's water features flow down to a collection pond with a pump system to push the water back up the hillside above these falls.

So these falls are hybrid powered, eh? I guess we could all use a little extra boost to help us on our way.

This is Burney Falls in Northern California. Dubbed "the Eight Wonder of the World" by Teddy Roosevelt. A good place for short telephoto shots!

This is an unnamed fall along McGee Creek. 13,992-foot-tall Mt. Humphreys is in the background.

Yup - all of the water features drain down to a spot right next to the intersection of the road leading to the zoo and the road next to the Rose Gardens.

I really like this view of these falls. More interesting than the big wide view. Can you still visit these falls? I thought I read somewhere that access got cut off due to too many people.

Impressive backdrop for these falls. Nice work with some fairly harsh lighting conditions.

Yes, you can visit them. I had the waterfall to myself for a short time back in early April during a snow flurry.

Crawton waterfall NE Scotland falls straight into the sea. Very little water on this trip but a nice rainbow. Ken

I like these falls - they look pretty impressive. I am guessing there is an intense roar emanating from this much rushing water. Nice addition to the thread.

One of Ben's favorite haunt. American Fork River.

I like your shutter speed choice for this view of the river. Neat S curve composition.

I would be a basket case if I ever got to visit that place. I'd never leave until my batteries ran out..... Amazing place and a nice shot of it.
