Plitvice Lakes Waterfall Detail 2

This is another example of the beautiful waterfalls in Plitvice Lakes National Park, following this one: www.flickr.com/photos/david_morse/6761455033/

 

If I were to post a picture of each waterfall, it would take years, there are so many.

 

Plitvička jezera, or Plitvice Lakes National Park, in Croatia, is a beautiful series of 16 lakes which cascade from one to another through a huge number of waterfalls. Travertine dams separate the lakes, the result of calcium carbonate which is dissolved from the limestone rock and reforms into natural dams that grow about 1cm/year. The dams and waterfalls are constantly moving.

 

The water is crystal clear with a bright blue hue. Really beautiful place.
