Waterfall Wednesday 1/3/18

[AlanLichty]

Had to think about the date for a minute - a new year for falling water images.

I have another set of unnamed falls along (you guessed it) Sweet Creek. There is one more set above this before you get to the falls actually named Sweet Creek Falls.

An unnamed set of falls along Sweet Creek Trail. Siuslaw National Forest, Oregon.

Pile on with your own waterfall images....

Nice work Alan, I am now officially out of waterfalls until I can make some new ones. Bridalveil is pretty ugly in winter.

I am in Florence for the next few days so maybe I will go shoot another set of falls on your behalf before I leave

Very nice Alan! I think I have enough waterfall material for a few years yet! Here's one of Mooney Falls along Havasu Creek in northern Arizona.

I love the turquoise waters of Havasu Creek - fall leaves are a real treat alongside that.

Very little water at the Grand Falls of the Little Colorado River at this time so I decided to look closer.

Mocha colored falls are fun.

My problem this time of year is that there is too much water in the falls since this is our rainy season.

Classic view of Nevada Falls. I have enough to keep this going for a while...

Love that water color, Guy!

Tower Falls in Yellowstone, taken between busloads of Japanese tourists. I had almost set up when all of a sudden, I was completely surrounded by Japanese tourists, all crowding as close to my as they could. On top, squeezing under, leaning in from the sides -- it could have been Mesa Arch ! And then they were gone.

Sadly this seems to be more and more common a tale these days when you try to shoot the icons.....

Another angle on Nevada fall.

I'm not sure that banning tour buses is the answer, since they do improve accessibility and hopefully reduce the number of cars in the parks. But maybe they could ban large tour buses and limit the quantities so you don't suddenly get 100 people dropped onto a viewpoint... That could create some better, more personalized tours too.

A cool shot Monika!

I am sure the experience with the tourists wasn't fun, but if it's any consolation, your write up of the experience sounded funny and gave me a bit of a laugh at... "and then they were gone"....

Awesome looking Guy! I need to make a trip there in the fall.

Another from the Smokies, and yeah, I can keep up for awhile with waterfalls and cascades.

This is Cascades at Middle Prong, Tremont area.
