Three views of Gordale Scar in North Yorkshire. Limestone country with many small rivers that suddenly bubble out of the ground. This one has a waterfall that appears straight out of the rock face as can be seen in the first image. Unfortunately I am not fit enough to get up close to there. Ken

Here is my contribution. This is Mosaic Canyon in Death Valley. You are looking at an ancient debris flow in which chunks of limestone were carried downstream during a flood. You can also see a more recent debris flow with much smaller pieces sitting on top the old one. I am also including another image of a cross-section along the side of the canyon wall which has been abraded and polished by stream flow during flooding events to make a beautiful mosaic.

Sweet images, Ben. I remember when I was younger, wading and in some cases swimming up this canyon with my camera in a waterproof backpack.

These are all wonderful, Ken, but what will you do for "Waterfall Wednesday's" from now on?

That last one looks like some place near the "Queen's Garden.

These are all from our first retirement trip in 2013. As teachers my wife and I had lots of time in the summer, but couldn't handle the heat, so waited anxiously for retirement to make a month long trip in the fall.

I'll bet that cool water felt good yesterday, Jim. It looks like there was no shortage of people in the canyon.

You do such a wonderful job with B&W, Jim, especially with that Antelope Canyon image.

Thanks for the comment Douglas but I have found a treasure trove of waterfalls from New Zealand as well as many more from North Yorkshire. Ken
