Sidewinder Falls

[Bill Swartzwelder]

Arkansas has some really pretty waterfalls in the spring when we get lots of rain. This is about a 50 foot drop into a pool with another feeder creek dropping in at the very back left of the image. Would need ropes and help to get down there as the rocks are all quite slippery. This is on Bear Creek in the Ozark National Forest.

Neat scene - I like the rocks, the forest, and the falls.

There are times when shooting down the water flow is a more prudent viewpoint and this sounds like one of them. There doesn't appear to be a worthwhile place to stand looking down towards the bottom of these falls.

Love it, what a beautiful waterfall.

Super cool Bill! I have been missing your photos, and you sure came back with a really awesome one!

That has such a wild look about that area. I can just imagine how difficult it would be to get down to the bottom. I like the view you got.

Are there more waterfalls in Ozark NF?

 

[Bill Swartzwelder]

Thanks for the kind words.

Yes Jim lots and lots of waterfalls here in the spring. Most require some serious bushwacking to get to and a decent amount of rain. Springtime here is green and lush.

Nice flow to this stream. The shutter speed captures the energy pretty well.
