Waterfall Wednesday 7/22/2026

Wednesdays and Waterfalls - a great combination and time once again for another community thread to show them off

My falls for today are in a scene from the East Fork of the Wallowa River. The terrain in this area is quite steep so lots of falling water but off trail access is quite difficult and views of the river from the trail are somewhat limited. This is one of those trail views that shows how steep the terrain is with several nice unnamed falls but highly limited views through the vegetation. A local utility taps part of the flow to fill an overhead flume that drops down to push a turbine in a small scale power station.

Pile on with whatever you have showing falling water.

I like how you reworked this one - it looks great as a B&W with your eye for the light.

Keeping with the trapped log theme, here's Wahclella Falls in the Columbia River Gorge.

That log is wedged in there pretty good - it likely took an amazing flow of water to get it there and will take an even bigger one to get it out. Unless it got burned out in 2017 of course.

I like the sheet like flow over the rock in the lower left. Neat effect with this shutter speed.
