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.

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.

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.

Path of Least Resistance
This is a smaller waterfall at Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The main, larger collection of flowing water is to the right of this view. (See my previous post: The Falls at Sioux Falls)
A lot more dramatic water is flowing from the main falls (out of frame, to the right of this view) but I prefer this image. I like the way the water makes it’s path to the river, coursing around and over the rocks in the foreground.

The Falls at Sioux Falls
These are the water falls you will find in the center of South Dakota’s largest city – Sioux Falls. They created a very nice park along the river that feeds the falls. It seems to be the hub of many activities.
I was able to grab this and a few other nice images of these falls while on a recent visit.

Wilderness Waterway
This is a panoramic view of Horseshoe Falls in Marinette County, Wisconsin. It is one of my favorite waterfalls out of the many we visited in Marinette County last weekend. I found the setting and the water swirling in and out of view very appealing.
This is a large image that needs to be viewed large to be appreciated. Thankfully, if you click on the photo, it will open a full screen version in a new browser tab.
I combined five separate shots, holding my camera in “portrait” orientation to create this detailed, wide view. Though it doesn’t seem so from this image, it was a cloudy, rainy day. (I don’t think it was raining at this moment.)
There are 14 waterfalls in Marinette County. We didn’t have time to visit them all, because I can spend a lot of time at each one, trying to find all the angles, changing lenses and experimenting with a variety of camera settings. We visited seven of the 14. Most of them were better than I was hoping for, based on the photos I’d seen on the web or in brochures.
