Nothing is softer or more flexible than water, yet nothing
can resist it.
- Lao Tzu
This ICM image was taken at the base of a small waterfall framed with these sandy colored rocks. There were a few splashes of the water as it tumbled over the rocks. I love the soft mood of this image.
Langzeitbelichtung an der Braunsdorfer Werre, ein wildromantischer Bach, der in die Schwarza mündet.
Long exposure at the Braunsdorfer Werre, a wildly romantic stream that flows into the Schwarza river.

Another image from Gatineau Park north of Ottawa near the Carbide Willson Ruins. This one of the small rocky falls that lead from the old dam to the ruins. This was a more complex composition to find at the scene; in the end using the flow of the water to guide the viewer through the different elements found within the frame.
Thanks for viewing!!
Water flows, like time, unstoppable. She's carrying many stone vessels. They move slowly, millennias, before they reach their destination as much smaller pebbles. They won't even notice how many trees will grow and die around watching their race to eternity. And then I come with camera thinking: "What a lovely brook...click..."

I went for one of my favourite walks through a forest near our place a couple of days ago, that has a small creek running through the entire area. I decided to try to get some macro shots of the creek, so I squatted down on a small rock in the middle of the water, tilted my LCD screen and held my camera about 1" from the water and shot. This little "waterfall" is only about 4" high. I didn't fall in and the only thing that got wet was my camera strap.
The relentless flow,
as time ushers life forward,
find your spot and grow.
Sometimes it seems that the seconds of our lives flow like water cascading over rocky cliffs during a torrential downpour. Slow those waters down, root yourself and embrace the flow. While exploring Twin Falls at Rock Island, it was nice to focus in close on the flowing water of the cascading waterfall and picking out interesting details. Wishing everyone a great day ahead. Thanks for the favs and kind words. They are much appreciated!

The river waters drop and vanish here as they pass into a natural bridge being cut through the rock.
