Obviously we have thousands of terrific waterfalls running all over the place for the next little bit - I counted about 70 of them during a drive through Boxley this afternoon alone (we got about 4" of rain but no ice or snow, yet). This is a shot of a waterfall that I see all the time, and I named it after the place where I am sitting when I see it. It was cooking pretty good.
Just for reference, the upper part of this falls (that you can see next to the big tree) is about 50' tall, and the cascade directly behind my photo position drops about 600 feet over moss-covered boulders in less than 200 feet horizontal - from my bathroom it looks like one tall, solid cascade, and it is! I wish I could stand at the bottom and see the entire cascade, but for a good shot I would need to be about 300 feet off the ground looking straight into it - anyone have a small hot air balloon?

I'm always wishing for a bucket truck myself, thiose times I can tell there's the most spectacular vista I've never seen just the other side of those trees, but there's no way I can photograph it. Except with a bucket truck. Or now that you mention it, a hot-air balloon might work.
Probably just a water drop on the polarizing filter. These were just snapshots so I didn't pay too much attention to the front of the lens.

The falls is 50' high ... I would have never guessed that from this perspective. It must put up quite a racket when in full flow. Now that's a view to contemplate when you're on the throne!

I really like the perspective you have here, Tim.
I do see the one water drop on your lens and that branch in the middle covering the main falls could go......what were your options for shooting this at a different angle down low to eliminate the branch from covering the falls....could you have shot this from more to the right!?
