Falling with a roar! by gilbertwood

Falling with a roar!

This is our own Hopkin's Falls (15 kms away) that are truly raging at the moment with all this rain in our part of the state. The falls are 90 metres wide with a drop of 12 metres. The drop now is only half of that, as the river widens and floods from the falls. Also fascinating today was the spray blowing back up the falls in the s/w winds.
Gosh, that is a LOT of water & looks special powerful & spectacular. Great composition & love the spray created from the wind. It got very windy here too.....and very wintery!

Wow! That's amazing. I'm sure you are tired of the rain but it sure creates some nice waterfalls.

Looks like your springs "down under" are similar to ours. Lots of rain. We had our share of it this year as well.

Wow, you have captured the power and force of the water
September 15th, 2016  
Well captured I can almost hear the thunder of the waterfall.
September 15th, 2016  
What a sound that must be to go along with the beautiful image! Floods are never good, and here in California, and around us in Nova Scotia as well, people would gladly take some of that water off your hands! Always interesting how one place has "too much"...another, "too little"... (And when it changes, WE will have flooding!)
