Captured near the beginning of the tour, the canyon quickly widens into huge galleries before narrowing again into a traditional slot canyon. Was it crowded? Absolutely. Was it worth it? I think so

Upper Cascade
Bond Falls Scenic Site
Ontonagon River
Haight Township
Michigan
Bond Falls in Michigan's Upper Peninsula is a breathtaking gem known for its scenic beauty. Nestled near Paulding, this waterfall cascades gracefully over a series of rocky ledges, creating a mesmerizing, multi-tiered display. The water tumbles down from about 50 feet, spreading out over a wide expanse that can reach up to 100 feet across.
Nokalakevi (Georgian: ნოქალაქევი) also known as Archaeopolis (Ancient Greek: Ἀρχαιόπολις, "Old City") and Tsikhegoji (in Georgian "Fortress of Kuji").
Located by the Tekhuri River, on the northern edge of the Colchian plain in Samegrelo, western Georgia, lie the ruins of Nokalakevi. Occupying approximately 20ha, the site was known to early Byzantine historians as Archæopolis, and to the neighbouring Georgian (Kartlian) chroniclers as Tsikhegoji, or the fortress of Kuji — a Colchian ruler or eristavi. The fortress is located 15 km from the modern town of Senaki on the Martvili road, and would have commanded an important crossing point of the river Tekhuri, at the junction with a strategic route that still winds through the neighbouring hills to Chkhorotsqu in central Samegrelo. Nokalakevi-Archaeopolis played a part in the major wars fought between the Byzantines and Sasanians in the South Caucasus during the sixth century AD. It was one of the key fortresses guarding Lazika (modern Mingrelia) from Sasanian, Persian and Iberian (East Georgian/Kartlian) attack. During the war of AD 540-562, the Persians' failure to take Nokalakevi-Archaeopolis from the Byzantines and the Laz eventually cost them control of Lazika.
The early Byzantine defensive fortifications of Nokalakevi-Archaeopolis take advantage of the site's position within a loop of the river Tekhuri, which has carved a gorge through the local limestone to the west of the fortress. The steep and rugged terrain to the north of the site made the citadel established there almost unassailable. A wall connected this 'upper town' to the 'lower town' below, where excavations have revealed stone buildings of the fourth to sixth century AD. Beneath these late Roman period layers there is evidence of several earlier phases of occupation and abandonment, from the eighth to second centuries BC.
Upper Antelope Canyon
These canyons are always so red with highlights in yellow, so I converted it to B&W then added red in the shadow and blue to the highlights to get this effect.
A few days in the Lake District last week, met up with Paul Thompson when heading up to upper Aira Force!

Looking North West. Over the hill to the right is Buttertubs and Swaledale. Take the road around the left hill to head towards the Lake District
Last waterfall of the hike that's worth posting. We missed it on the first pass and had to drive back to get it on this trip. The rule says if we don't finish the hike we have to go back and we wanted to finish... not that we'd mind going back.

On the plane ride to Portland we sat next to a guy who lived in Sandia Park, right up the road from us. He raved "You've gotta try Silver Falls. Ten waterfalls in a single hike!" He really sold it, to the point of pulling out his phone and showing us pictures.
With that much enthusiasm, how could we resist?
Descriptions vary as to the trail length: 6.9, 7.2, 8.7 or 9 miles, but in those miles are 10 waterfalls, all different and each would be worthy of a hike of its own. Put all 10 on one hike and you've got a winner.
The Upper Tahquamenon Falls is over 200' wide and 48' high. Over 50,000 gallons of water spill over this incredible waterfall per second. Located in Paradise, Michigan. Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
Road that is...Hamilton has "upper" street names, meaning they are on an escarpment. ;)

Another view of this slot canyon, on Navaho land near Page Arizona. I liked a lot of these. If you move 6 inches, or turn 5 degrees in any direction you have a different set of lines, curves and tones.
As one of Mount Buffalo's best drops, Upper Rollason Falls is only a short walk from the carpark and has the clearest water I have ever seen! Stay tuned as i post more photos from my recent trip to Mount Buffalo National Park in Victoria's north east.
My weekend walk with Pops had me doing a full circuit of the upper Derwent reservoirs.
It was a bit damp and cloudy but the colours were still impressive and suited some abstract work like this.
