Waterfall Wednesday 7/9/2025

[AlanLichty]

Falling water can take many forms and for today I am going to feature falling water that is the result of waves crashing into basalt formations. There is a short lived display of falling water once the wave energy is exhausted and gravity takes over. Winter visits are best for consistent wave energy displays like what you see below during an early January visit to the basalt ledges at Cape Perpetua.

A familiar venue for many west coast photographers - Thor's Well:

Wahkeena is a great place to go looking for small scenes like this one with almost endless possibilities. Nice choice of shutter speed for this little scene.

I'll never recall the name of this place in Iceland but it was really tall.

Easy to see how these falls got their name. Neat looking place.

That's a lot of water flowing pouring over these cliffs. Neat perspective on the falls.
