Junction Falls - Before

Yesterday I was fortunate to witness - and photograph - one of the most amazing sights you can ever see in the Blue Mountains - the rapid conversion in a matter of seconds of an otherwise trickle of a waterfall into a behemoth roaring wall of thundering stormwater.
Bonus, I was at Junction Falls, which are actually 2 separate waterfalls on separate creeks, respectively just upstream of where the two creeks join into one.
First the north fall went into Beserk mode, then about 30 minutes later the south fall did likewise, so I was able to capture the transition of both.
I was already soaked to the skin on arrival, having trudged down the circuit track to firstly shoot Adeline Falls. But the rain made no difference to my eager lenses. Thank goodness I had my trusty rusty umbrella with me to keep the gear relatively dry.
The log you see at the base of the north fall eventually became completely submerged.
