Soda Butte Creek is a tributary of Lamar River in Yellowstone National Park (see image link in comments). Named for an extinct geyser (Soda Butte), I call this area the stinkiest place you’ll ever love. The smell of sulfur hangs in the air in this pristine landscape. But that’s not what catches my attention as we drive through the valley. It’s the expansive, untouched landscapes and the incredible wildlife. In Lamar Valley you are likely to encounter bison, hawks, eagles, bears, possibly even wolves and my absolute favorite songbird, the American Dipper. Dippers are scrappy aquatic passerines that sing throughout the year while dipping and diving into the water for food. I found my first dipper in Lamar Valley in October 2014. Hearing birdsong in the distance, I climbed down a hillside seeking its source. I stumbled onto a dipper and became immediately mesmerized. For several minutes, I photographed this hearty water ouzel as it searched for food along the creek. John Muir describes American Dippers in one of my favorite quotes, “Find a fall, or cascade, or rushing rapid, anywhere upon a clear stream, and there you will surely find its complementary Ouzel, flitting about in the spray, diving in foaming eddies, whirling like a leaf among beaten foam-bells; ever vigorous and enthusiastic, yet self-contained, and neither seeking nor shunning your company.” -John Muir
I have posted this here before, but I was thinking about it again today and thought I'd re-share.

The Franklin river and its tributaries are perhaps one of the few truly wild places left in the world. Seen here is actually the Surprise River a few hundred metres before it joins the Franklin. The orange colour in the river, which contrasts so dramatically with the green of the rainforest, is from tannins resulting from the decay of organic material in the forest.
The scene of Australia’s largest conservation battle, the Franklin river was saved from a proposed hydro-electric power scheme which would have flooded large sections of the Franklin and Gordon river systems. Known to history as the Franklin River Blockade, and organised by the Tasmanian Wilderness Society under the leadership of Bob Brown, it commenced on the 14 December 1982, the day the Western Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area was listed. A total of 2613 people participated in the campaign of nonviolent civil disobedience and protesters chained themselves to gates and formed blockades in rubber duckies at Warners Landing. Numerous boat loads were arrested, and the campaign continued throughout the summer of 1982-3 resulting in the arrest of 1272 people. Bob Brown, who would later found and lead the Australian Greens party, was imprisoned for three weeks, and many people, including internationally renowned botanist, David Bellamy, were remanded in custody. Federal intervention, and subsequent high court rulings after the state government challenge, eventually stopped the construction. Compensation of $276 million was paid to the state, a much lower figure than the $500 million initially offered by the federal government prior to the legal battle.
The Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area which covers approximately 1,584,000 hectares (3,914,149 acres), or 20% of the state of Tasmania, represents one of the last true forested wilderness regions on Earth and is said to encompass a greater range of preserved natural values than any other region on Earth. The rugged terrain experienced severe glaciation during the last ice ages and is littered with steep gorges and craggy peaks.

Construction of Norris Dam began in 1933, just a few months after the creation of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), and was completed in 1936. It has two generating units with a summer net dependable capacity of 126 megawatts. The reservoir area (seen on the left side of the dam in the photograph above) also helped form the backbone for the Tennessee State Park system. Norris Reservoir in extends 73 miles up the Clinch River and 56 miles up the Powell from Norris Dam creating the entire reservoir area. It was the first dam TVA built, and is named for Senator George Norris of Nebraska, author of the legislation that created TVA.
-- Norris Dam Facts & Figures --
‧ The dam is 265 feet high and stretches 1,860 feet across the Clinch River.
‧ Norris Lake of Reservoir, the largest reservoir on a tributary of the Tennessee River, has 33,840 acres of water surface and 809 miles of shoreline.
‧ Norris Dam is a hydroelectric facility. It has two generating units with a summer net dependable capacity of 126 megawatts. Net dependable capacity is the amount of power a dam can produce on an average day, minus the electricity used by the dam itself.
‧ The town of Norris was built to house construction workers on the dam. It was a planned community that became a model for others throughout the nation. The town was sold to private owners in 1948.
‧ In a year with normal rainfall, the water level in Norris Reservoir varies about 29 feet from summer to winter to provide seasonal flood storage.
‧ The reservoir has a flood-storage capacity of 1,113,000 acre-feet.
‧ You can find Norris Dam off Hwy. 441 at 30 Powerhouse Way, Norris, Tennessee.
Because of it's historical significance in the area of Civil Engineering and in the creation of the town of Norris, Norris Dam was added to the ASCE List of Historic Civil Engineering Landmarks in 1986 and the Norris District was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 10, 1975.

The Tanana River is a 584-mile (940 km) tributary of the Yukon River in the state of Alaska. The river's headwaters are located at the confluence of the Chisana and Nabesna rivers just north of Northway in eastern Alaska. The Tanana flows in a northwest direction from near the border with the Yukon, and laterally along the northern slope of the Alaska Range. It is roughly paralleled by the Alaska Highway in central Alaska, as it emerges into a lowland marsh region known as the Tanana Valley and passes south of the city of Fairbanks.
There is no fishing (except with bait for burbot) in the Tanana. The river runs with incredibly turbid glacial melt-water in which game fishing is pretty much impossible. You literally can't see an inch into it,
Ice on the river accumulates each winter to an average maximum thickness of 43 inches at Nenana. The Nenana Ice Classic, begun in 1917, is an annual guessing game about the date of the ice break-up. In October or November, after the freeze has begun, a tripod is planted in ice in the middle of the river. The tripod is connected to an on-shore clock that stops when the tripod begins to move during the spring thaw. Over the years, the break-up date has varied from April 20 to May 20. Betting on the exact time of the break-up takes the form of a lottery. In 2010, after the ice went out on April 29, three lottery winners split a jackpot of $279,030 In 2011 the river officially broke up on May 4, 2011 at 4:24 PM. The $338,062.00 jackpot was split between 22 winners.

One of the many tributaries to the Colorado River is the San Juan River. I am sure that you have already heard about the Colorado, but did you ever hear of the San Juan? It springs in the San Juan Mountains located in the southwest of the State of Colorado. It enters New Mexico, goes back to Colorado to than enter Utah and almost to the end, right before it flows into the Lake Powell, it enters the Sate of Arizona. It is a true 4-Corners State river. The topography along its course is full of obstacles. Its most impressive one is at the San Juan Goosenecks State Park where the river meanders through many horseshoe bends, as much as 8.0 km within a 1.6 km distance "as the bee flies”. The view is somewhat obliterated and yet as fantastic as the view of the famous 'Horseshoe Bend' carved out by the Colorado River by Page, AZ.

From wiki:
"In the days leading up to June 19, 2013, Alberta, Canada, experienced heavy rainfall that triggered catastrophic flooding described by the provincial government as the worst in Alberta's history. Areas along the Bow, Elbow, Highwood, Red Deer, Sheep, Little Bow, and South Saskatchewan rivers and their tributaries were particularly affected. A total of 32 states of local emergency were declared and 28 emergency operations centres were activated as water levels rose and numerous communities were placed under evacuation orders."
We were there the very same day and lived through history! If we remained there for another hour, we would not be able to get out. Luckily I am still alive to tell the tale.
A tributary of the Chena River is frozen over and fog hangs in the air. Spruce trees and dying grasses add color to the frozen scene. The ice has vent holes from the still unfrozen water below.
Winter in Alaska is a beautiful time of year. Most of the visitors have left and the locals remain. It is a time of quiet, a time of being alone. Rarely does anyone wander off the roads during winter, so when you get off the road, it is just you and the animals and the scenery.
As I have gotten older, the winter treks have become fewer. My wife and I do get out when we can but I have to be honest, it is not as much as before in our younger years. Old age isn't for the weak for sure. We both hope to be able to get out and enjoy both winter and the warmer months for years to come, just won't be as long and as often as when we were younger.
This is starting to become a series of photos :) - this was taken in an overflow system beneath a bellmouth overflow of a tributary to a reservoir. It's coloured with light painting. Whenever I show my daughter these photos she wants me to take her where the colours are and I have to explain they don't quite look like that in real life.
One of the minor streams that feeds into Llyn Dinas which most of the time is nothing but a stream. During the wet weather that we have had recently it has expanded creating a series of beautiful cascades. A short pleasant walk from the roadside I noticed that there was plenty water in the stream which made the short scramble to the falls worth while.
Laural Creek
Tributary Of The Gauley River
Gauley River National Recreation Area
West Virginia
What was hands down one of the coolest photographic subjects for me was on a tributary of the Gauley River at an unnamed falls on Laurel Creek in West Virginia. The hike down to the falls, although fairly short, was really steep, loaded with loose gravel and pushed me beyond my safety comfort zone but, wow, was it worth it. A beautiful towering waterfall with a massive double swirl in the splash pool and several great friends behind their lenses along the pools edge. Good times, I must say!

The Nant Bwrefwr (Stream of Bwrefwr), a tributary of the Caerfanell, forms a waterfall at Blaen-y-glyn (Head of the Glen).
The Caerfanell is a river which rises in the central section of the Brecon Beacons National Park in Powys, Wales. It rises as Blaen Caerfanell on the plateau of Gwaun Cerrig Llwydion and drops steeply down southeastwards into the head of Glyn Collwn before turning east then north-east into Talybont Reservoir. It emerges from the hydro turbine beneath the dam just above the village of Aber and continues northwards to its confluence with the River Usk at the hamlet of Llansantffraed-juxta-Usk.
Its principal tributaries are the Nant Bwrefwr, Nant Tarthwynni, Clydach and Cwy.
The river is shadowed for much of its length by the Beacons Way and by the eastern loop of the Taff Trail. Its uppermost reaches are within open country and accessible to walkers. Paths descend beside the river at Blaenyglyn where it drops over a series of falls which are a very popular natural attraction during both summer and winter months.
Much of the water that fills Talybont Reservoir begins its journey high up in the mountains at the head of the Talybont Valley in the eastern Beacons. At Blaen-y-Glyn, the infant River Caerfanell, the Nant Bwrefwr and other streams tumble down from the hills over tremendous clusters of picturesque waterfalls.
There are pleasant walks to these falls from Natural Resources Wales car parks at Upper Blaen-y-Glyn (grid reference SO056176) and Lower Blaen-y-Glyn (SO064169).
McCammon Falls
Tributary Of McCammon Branch
Jackson County
Grey Hawk
Kentucky
With a perfectly forecasted day of clouds and cool weather on Saturday I couldn't resist getting out and doing some waterfalling. I'd been wanting to revisit McCammon Falls in Jackson County, Kentucky in good conditions for some time. It had been 4 years since I had spent some quality time with this waterfall, which also happened to be my first visit. Although I had been here two more times after that both those visits were of the extreme, once with no water and the other there was way too much water. On this latest visit I couldn't have asked for better flow. See that tree on the left? I hate that tree. In the case of this shot I thought it fit the composition well, but to get straight on shots of the falls showing both tiers is quite the challenge since the dead limbs protrude across the view of the waterfall. I've been threatening to bring an extendable saw and trimming the limbs off for some time now but on this latest trip I wasn't in the mood to fight a 6 ft tall pole with a sharp blade on the end in the vehicle all day long. Some day though, I'm going to clean that view up.

On my first image from Alaska, I mentioned the bad weather in Lake Clark National Park. Because of the cloud cover many of the mountains in the park were obscured by the clouds and sometimes the visibility was extremely low. I still managed to see some beautiful landscape possibilities while I was there, and this image is from a small tributary of water which flowed thru the back country from Cooks Inlet. The water level and how far you could go was controlled by the high and low tides. We contrived what was called a booze cruise because of the lack of bear sightings that day. The boat was a rather wide one and chairs were put in it to sit on. While drinking beers or wine, some of us traveled down the tributary, but soon ran out of water to continue on due to the miscalculation of the time of the low tide. It was fun, and we even collected a couple of salmon fisherman from along the shore. I favor beer myself, so I had a beer called Alaskan Amber and one called Alaskan Summer for most of the trip instead of wine.
