Running Eagle Falls is located on Two Medicine River in Glacier National Park. We found this to be one of the most beautiful falls we have ever seen. There are several vantage points as you get nearer to the falls but this one of the clear waters in the river as you approach is not to be missed.
The waterfall itself has two portions, the top half and 1/3 of the way up on the right side of the falls, you will see a blast of water that is subterranean (at lower water levels this is the only one visible).
While the literature says the falls drops 40 feet, it seems much higher.
“One problem with the rise in landscape photography in recent years has been over-tourism. In 2018, you might remember that the Jackson Hole Travel & Tourism Board actually asked visitors to stop geotagging remote forests and lakes. In one spot, Delta Lake, the number of daily visitors increased that year from one or two to more than a hundred. As a result of incidents of this sort, some leading landscape and nature photographers, including Marco Grassi, will not geotag the exact location of pristine, untouched places that aren’t widely known. It’s a simple way to keep them wild.” - 500px blog (I have wondered why so many photographers do not identify photo locations. It seems that if there was only one place for photographers to visit, it would be swarmed so that adding a second place would relieve some of that pressure. If there were only 100 places to visit, adding another 100 would releive more pressure . . . IMHO)

With a redwood grove. This river is crystal clear coming from the Hamurana Spring. The spring delivers about 1,000,000 gallons of water per hour! Locals come to get their bottled water here because it is so pure. It takes 70 years from the water source to reach here!

Looking back on the past year on New Year's Eve of 1639, master distiller Peter Emilius must have been quite pleased. The canalised river in our photo, the Smal Weesp, had that year been joined with three other waterways as a barge canal connecting the Amstel River in Amsterdam to the Vecht at Weesp just beyond the bridge in the distance. And that was exactly what the distilleries of Weesp needed for the efficient transport of raw materials and their products, beer but especially high quality gin. A manuscript - the Onderricht van eenighe grove distilation - with Emilius' special recipe for good gin of 1630 is preserved in the local archive where it was relatively recently rediscovered.
Gin had been distilled from grain in the city of Amsterdam but its increased production at the beginning of the seventeenth century had much aggravated the stench pollution of the process. Distilleries were banned from the city and set up anew at Weesp - about 10 kms away. There the pure water of the Vecht River was an additional boon to both brewing and distilling.
More or less at the same time the Polish-Swedish Wars (1600-1629) caused international grain prices to skyrocket. The water authorities around Amsterdam decided to drain two lakes, the Bijlmermeer and the Diemermeer, and the new polder lands soon became grain fields. But that far less expensive grain had to be transported efficiently and to that end the new adjoining barge canal was useful. Moreover, it was also a quick way of public transport; there were four barges daily for that purpose with reasonably priced tickets.
Weesp's gin was much called for and the industry greatly expanded especially when the Dutch East Indies Trading Company (VOC) became a major customer to supply its huge fleet of trading ships. Distillation fell back though in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and gin production in Weesp failed. But in 2014 creative miller Christian Pfeiffer discovered Emilius' recipe and after trial and error was able to market Anker Weesp in 2015.
The windmill in the photo is called 't Haantje (=little rooster, cockerel). it's a mere facade and not a working mill, but pretty anyway. For a time in the nineteenth century it served as a grain mill.

More fun if viewed at largest size; I have been wanting to get a fairly clear, decent shot of the inside of one of these guy's heads! :)
La imagen retrata un impresionante sistema de saltos de agua naturales enclavados en un cañón rocoso. En la parte superior, la corriente se divide en dos potentes chorros antes de unirse y caer con fuerza en la poza inferior. El terreno accidentado está cubierto de musgo y matorrales que revelan la humedad constante del entorno. La técnica fotográfica logra capturar el agua con un efecto de seda que realza su belleza.

This old waterwheel, paddles broken off, used for Hydro Electrical generation many years ago, is on the Waihou walkway on the upper Waihou stream and downstream from the photo titled " Pure Water" shown below.
The water is pure and exceptionally clear having been in aquifers between 50 - 100 years. It is a stunning walk and well worth the effort, highly recommended.
This stream supplies Putaruru with all its water and is not filtered in any way, just upstream at Blue Springs the water is used to supply NZ with 70% of all its bottled water pumped from a very small pump house.
Very tricky to take this shot as no space for tripod to get decent composition and had to be hand held but wanted to get the spokes with motion, keep part of photo sharp, and get reasonable exposure on water.

Panta rei panta rhei
As Heraclitus said, everything is in a state of flux.
A fountain in the middle of nowhere in a lonely road.
Taken in a promenade into the woods of my hometown.
THE MEANING OF LIFE
Just a bit of Philosophy, and
sometimes a little bit of irony.
Photographs that sometimes
are chained with others. Play
with them jumping like If you
were playing hopscotch.
P.S. Dear voyeur (presumed dumb) :P

Panta rei panta rhei
Como dijo Heráclito , todo fluye.
Una fuente en medio de la nada, en un camino solitario.
Tomada durante un paseo por los bosques de la ciudad donde nací.
EL SENTIDO DE LA VIDA.
Soló un poquito de Filosofía
y a veces una pizca de ironía.
Fotos que a veces están escadenadas
entre ellas. Juega saltando de foto en
foto como si jugaras a la Rayuela.
P.D. Querido/a mirón/a (presumiblemente mudo/a),

Johnston Canyon
Waterfall view from my camera. Johnston Canyon is amazing waterfall after waterfall crystal clear water. After I returned to my home in Arizona, it is difficult drinking filtered water.
Heavy rains have caused flooding in various areas of Chittagong city. The city's roads and alleys were submerged in knee-deep water due to continuous heavy rain since morning. The city dwellers suffered.
Agüita para todos los que vais con el coche estos días de fiesta, de puentes y de acueductos para los suertudos !!!
Besosssssssssss

And I do mean supremely patient: I'm holding the lens about 1" away from him!
I don't have a macro (micro) lens so this is with extension tubes on my 50mm prime lens, handheld.
Thank you, little buddy, for the awesome shot!

Got up early to shoot the classic lake Tarawera sun rise jetty shot.
as you can see the sun rise never really amounted to much but still not a bad spot even on a cloudy day

In the Native American culture, the dragonfly symbolizes change, transformation,adaptability and self realization. For the Navajo dragonflies symbolize "pure water".
