Cliff Falls

A seasonal fall near Phoenix
Prints of this photo are available at my photo store!


We've had a crazy spring so far, as some of my previous posts have indicated. We've had the normal melt, from a pretty snowy winter. Then we had the surprising late-season blizzard, followed by a rare thunderstorm, followed by even more rain! So, waterfalls are flowing very well.

I found this little seasonal fall on the old railroad (and current snowmobile trail) between Phoenix and Eagle River. This little seasonal stream falls down in a small gorge which is totally dry all of the rest of the year. But for just a few weeks, we have this beautiful series of falls tumbling out of the cliffs. Enjoy!

That's a brilliant shot. The composition, with the fallen tree framing the fall, is just superb.

I love this shot. The color and as Andy pointed out, the fallen tree are fantastic.

I really have to work on my taking pictures of waterfall technique.

Thanks all! :)

@LisaNewton: Waterfalls are a lot of fun, but you definitely need a neutral density filter (or polarizer, in a pinch) and a tripod. Admittedly, my tripod is about to collapse in the next light breeze, but it still helps! The real trick is not to have too *long* of an exposure... unless you REALLY want a wall of white, smooth water -- not always ideal.

Anyhow, have fun! Be sure to post your photos...
