Waterfalls

The majestic power magnifies the awesome beauty of cascading water down sheer cliffs,
and the roar of the water uplifts the spirits and washes stress away.

Waterfalls are among my favorite subjects to photograph. 
They are patient and are always ready for a photo shoot, although certain times of the day are more favorable than others.

My photography gallery, The Lens Flare, contains 3 related tags:  Waterfall, Waterfalls, and Falls, which contain over 450 great images of waterfalls throughout the world.  Additionally, the water gallery contains over 4,000 images of streams, lakes, rivers, and waterfalls.

Firehole Falls in Yellowstone 

Yellowstone is a great place to find and shoot waterfalls. Firehole Falls is up a short side road along the Firehole river just south of Madison and north of Old Faithful.

Cave Falls in Yellowstone 

Cave Falls is named because of a small 10-15 foot cave at the side of the falls, which is where I was standing when I took this image.

Lower Mesa Falls 

After 14 miles north of Ashton, ID is the Lower Mesa Falls, which falls about 65 feet down the Henry's Fork of the Snake River.

Upper Mesa Falls 

About a mile north of the Lower Mesa Falls is the Upper Mesa Falls, which falls 114 ft. on the Henry's Fork of the Snake River. It's supposedly the largest undeveloped waterfall in the US, meaning that it doesn't have a power plant or other man made "enhancements". There's a paved trail that takes you within feet of the falls.

Upper Mesa Falls Micro Climate 

The never ending mist from the Upper Mesa Falls in Idaho creates a "micro climate", which means that it's much different from the surrounding area. Instead of temperate forests, it's more like a tropical rainforest, except that these plants can also withstand harsh winters.
