Waterfall
Multiple Streams
The South Falls at Silver Falls State Park waterfall cascades over a rocky cliff into a tranquil pool below, surrounded by lush greenery. The sun, filtered through tall trees, did a nice job of illuminating the mist in the air. The state park where you can find this, and a number of other waterfalls, is located outside Portland, Oregon.
The title, Multiple Streams, is a reference to the stream of water flowing off the cliff, the sunlight streaming through the trees and the rocky stream bed in the foreground.

Forest of Friendship Waterfall
A small, tranquil waterfall flows into a pond filled with lily pads, surrounded by lush greenery and tall grasses. This serene setting was found at the International Forest of Friendship near Atchison, Kansas. It is known as the “Joe Carrigan Memorial Waterfall.”
We enjoyed our recent visit to the International Forest of Friendship. It was a paved path through an area that featured tree species representing different countries and states. A very pleasant, green place. This waterfall and pond was part of the scenery. There were small goldfish in the pond, among the lily pads.
This is a panorama image – two separate photos joined together to give you a wider view. I was using a pretty wide angle lens to begin with, but it wasn’t wide enough to capture the full view you see here.

Tall Drink
A picturesque waterfall cascades down a rocky cliffside into a tranquil pool below, surrounded by lush greenery and moss-covered rocks. This is South Falls – a 177-foot (54 m) drop – at Silver Falls State Park near Portland, Oregon.
You can see this same fall from a different angle on my earlier post, South Falls at Silver Falls State Park.

The Pause that Refreshes
This is one of the many waterfalls at Top of the Rock in Ridgeway, Missouri. (Near the Branson area.) The water flows over multiple rock ledges before it plunges into this pool, creating a very appealing and natural scene.
On a recent trip to the area we made our first visit to Top of the Rock. It is a resort area where they have a paved path through the woods and waterfalls and even a cave. You rent a golf cart and ride the course at your leisure. Very beautiful and quite enjoyable with lots of photo opportunities. This is a vertical panorama – combining three individual images to capture the full scene.

Where Dreams Flow Freely
A serene waterfall cascades gently down the rocks, surrounded by lush greenery and the moss-covered trees of Silver Falls State Park near Portland, Oregon. I like the moss on the trees and the way the sunlight highlights a hint of mist in the air.
It took four images stitched together to create this full view. This is a vertical panorama. I wish I could remember which of the many waterfalls from this park is pictured here. This is an image I had on the hard drive that I’d just not gotten around to – and there’s more from this trip and location. This was captured in early October of 2022.

Spearfish Falls
This is a vertical panorama of Spearfish Falls; a popular attraction of Spearfish Canyon in the Black Hills area of South Dakota. Spearfish Canyon was one of my favorite areas. Highway US-14A winds through an incredibly beautiful, deep and narrow gorge with a small but active river running alongside the road. This is also where we saw mountain goats along the roadway and on the hills.
This is a panoramic image (3 individual photos joined together) because the observation spot is so close to the falls, I couldn’t fit the whole thing in the frame using the lens I had with me. We were close enough to feel the mist/spray from the falls.
This photo was taken on a cool, dreary day and, in fact, it started to rain on us; which hastened our departure. To get to the falls there is a nice half-mile trail. This photo was taken in mid-September so the flow is considerably less than you would experience in the spring.

Gooseberry Falls
Along the northern shore of Lake Superior you will find Gooseberry Falls State Park of Minnesota. This is the park’s namesake – Gooseberry falls.
This is one of the photos I found in my archives. This image was captured July 7, 2017. It was taken on a trip to the Duluth, MN area. It was a trip that ended in tragedy; where I broke my Sony A77V camera! Nobody was hurt, but it was a traumatic event for me. I got over it by purchasing the same model (used) for about half the price of new. And, as they say, the rest was photographic history.
This is a small panoramic image; where I combined two separate photos to provide a wider view. You can get a larger, more detailed view of these waterfalls by clicking on the photo.

South Falls at Silver Falls State Park
Last year I visited the Portland, Oregon area for a conference. While there I got to visit some of the area’s scenic treasures. Silver Falls State Park is a site with ten waterfalls within rainforest-like conditions. This is South Falls – a 177-foot (54 m) cascade. It is one of the most visited of the falls, probably because it is near a main entrance.
If you look closely, you can see a wooden fence about half way up. That is a trail that leads you under the falls. There is a lot of great hiking and beauty in this park. This is a panoramic photo – three individual photos joined together (vertically) to get the full, awesome view.

Bridal Veil Falls in Spearfish Canyon
This is a late summer view of Bridal Veil Falls in the Spearfish Canyon of South Dakota. It was a pretty minimal flow, compared to how much water flows at other times of the year.
Cascading approximately 60 feet, Bridal Veil Falls is the most accessible waterfall in the canyon. The Falls flows intensely in the spring and slows considerably in late summer and fall. Bridal Veil Fall is located approximately 5.8 miles south of Spearfish Canyon’s north entrance.

Horsetail Falls
Horsetail Falls is a waterfall located on Horsetail Creek along the Columbia River Gorge in Multnomah County, in the U.S. state of Oregon. The falls drop over a cut over the columnar basalt cliff within the Oneonta Gorge. It is one of the waterfalls along the Columbia River Highway’s waterfall corridor. (From Wikipedia.)
In October of 2023 I attended a church leadership conference in Portland. When time afforded, we took in some of the local sites and landscape. This was the first Oregon waterfall of many I photographed on that trip. I will, no doubt, post more when time and inclination align.
