Good morning - happy Wednesday and welcome to another waterfall pile on thread. My kickstart for today is an interesting set of falls in the southeast part of Glacier National Park near the area known as Two Medicine. The Running Eagle Falls takes on different forms depending on which time of year you visit and in the spring covers the lower portion of the falls. In the fall when the flow in Two Medicine Creek is low the falls appear to be coming out of the side of the mountain as shown in this image:

That is a cool waterfall, Alan! Have to get up there some day, but not with a dog!

Two medicine is one area of Glaciere I need to explore more on my next trip. This is a wonderful shot and thanks for stating this thread.

I am getting pretty close to the end of my stash of waterfalls, here is one from Rainier.

Nicely framed, Ben. I'm also getting close to the bottom of my waterfall shots, I think.

Back when I lived in southwest Colorado, Treasure Falls was the closest major waterfall in the San Juan Mountains to me (about an hour drive away). I visited it many times on the way to other places and never bothered to shoot it until I finally encountered these conditions during a monsoonal summer evening. It was one of the rare times that I actually preferred to shoot a waterfall while it received direct sunlight.

Very nice - I love all the steps in the cascades.

One of the many waterfalls on the Road to Hana on Maui. The air was thick with mosquitos here....

The swirl in the pool below the falls is a nice touch.

The added rainbow is a neat addition to some pretty nice falls.

This is an artificial waterfall in the garden behind the LinYin Hotel in beautiful (not really) Hengyang in the Hunan province of China.

They made some really nice cascades for the water show. Nice.

We might have to schedule a Waterfall Weekend where everyone heads out to whatever waterfalls are local to them and stocks up on some more waterfall images! :)

Very cool Guy! This is a very nice flowing waterfall.

I had no idea that waterfall exists. Driving from Ouray to Santa Fe is a route I take 3 or 4 times a year, so now I have something I can go stop by to break up the drive, or perhaps time it for some diffused lighting also. Thanks!

This one is from the Ansel Adams Wilderness over by Thousand Island Lake. It's a 2 shot pano. I meant to get back in there this year but just ran out of time. :(

I like the blooms and the long DoF you got out of this.

Silver Cascade is one of my favorite waterfalls in New England. It is located in the State of NH. Foggy or overcast days make the fall colors pop in New England.

The fall leaf color show is amazing in New England. The mist in the background of this shot brings my focus back to the falls and the leaves.

Punchbowl falls in the Columbia River Gorge. This view doesn't exist anymore as there is a fallen tree there. Not sure how much this area is affected by the fire of last summer.

Aerial images that have been published show that a lot of the trees have been scorched although the damage in Oneonta Gorge in the next canyon over is far worse and reduced almost all of the vegetation to ash. Its going to be a while before we get to hike the Eagle Creek Trail again. There are quite a few ridge lines coming up from the Gorge that took the biggest hit while the stream bottoms got skipped over by the fires racing across the crowns of the tree.

Nice idea, Jim. I just had bunion surgery a few weeks ago, so am not very ambulatory these days. I may have to resort to shooting our "waterfall" faucet in the bathroom!
