SÜDAFRIKA (South-Africa), Blyde-Canyon - am Trauer-Freudenfluss, Bourkes Luck Potholes.
Der Blyde River Canyon ist ein 26 Kilometer langer, bis zu 800 Meter tiefer und hauptsächlich aus rotem Sandstein bestehender Canyon. Er befindet sich an der Panorama Route nordöstlich von Johannesburg und gilt als eines der großen Naturwunder Afrikas.
Durch den Blyde River Canyon, der an den Bourke’s Luck Potholes genannten Strudellöchern beginnt, fließt der Fluss Blyde River, der bei dem Thaba Chweu entspringt und in den Olifantsriver fließt.
The Blyde River Canyon is a 26km long Canyon located in Mpumalanga, South Africa. It is the one of the larger canyons on Earth but much smaller than those of Asia, the Grand Canyon and the Fish River Canyon. Unlike the Grand and Fish River Canyon, the Blyde River Canyon is a "green canyon" which is dominated by subtropical vegetation. The canyon forms part of the Blyde River Canyon Nature Reserve.
Lower Cataract Falls shown in this image drops about 30' (9.1 meters), making it, along with Upper Cataract Falls with a 45' drop (13.7 meters), among the most impressive waterfalls in Indiana.
This time of year, the light at Cataract Falls is really not that great in the early morning. However, it was pretty good when viewing the bridge from this angle.

... at the age of 12 Drift has developed some cataract ... it doesn't mean he can't see anymore, it's just more blur ... fortunately dogs have more senses they can use ... he just uses his nose a bit better than he used to do :) ... so hedgehogs beware ! ...

from cataract to bubbling fountain... It has infinite variety, and no part is ever duplicated. Its colors, though many and complex at any instant, change with the ascending and declining sun; lights and shadows appear and vanish with the passing clouds, and the changing seasons mark their passage in changing colors. You cannot see the Grand Canyon in one view, as if it were a changeless spectacle from which a curtain might be lifted, but to see it you have to toil from month to month through its labyrinths :-)

Cataract Gorge Reserve, known locally as the Gorge, is a unique natural formation within a two-minute drive of central Launceston - a rare natural phenomenon in any city.
Three rivers run through the city. This is the South Esk River in the Cataract Gorge, taken with one hand while holding an umbrella in the other, so probably not the sharpest.
Not one single fall, upper Cataract falls was fun to visit because there was an almost endless variety of ways to photograph the falling water.
Last of my photos from my visit to Cataract Falls. I look forward to going back in other seasons for some different perspectives of this wonderful park!
The ‘Wild Water Trail’ is a gentle but very scenic riverside route a little further up the Stubai Valley. You begin with a short bus trip, then walk to Tschangelair Alm for refreshments (this traditional Hütte serves fresh dairy produce and is famous for Graukäse, its own Tyrolean cheese). From here, you shadow a rushing glacial stream via the impressive Ruetz Cataract (an impressive waterfall) to reach the even more impressive Grawa cascade before catching the bus back.
Browsing older images I came across this. 2019 image of Cataract Falls in Northern California. I vaguely remember, it was a wet winter with several days of rain and the falls were flowing well. Shot with the crop sensor D500. I believe I was using ND filter for my first time here as well.
I enjoy using flickr as a timeline. I like to look back at where I have been. It tells my photography story.
I wish we had made it back to Niagara this past winter, but it just didn't work out. Ice on the falls is just so amazing to see.
Here's a little throwback Tuesday to 2014.
Sanderling
15.21.23.10.2025
I’ve always enjoyed photographing sanderlings...they’re my favourite shorebird. For the past 15 years, however, I’ve longed to see and photograph purple sandpipers. On several occasions, I travelled long distances hoping for close views, only to be told “they’ve gone” or “they’re over there”...usually meaning 100 yards away and completely inaccessible.
Earlier this year, I finally had the chance to photograph purple sandpipers on the west coast. Unfortunately, I was dealing with a secondary cataract and other complications in my eye, which made it difficult to see clearly. Thank goodness for modern autofocus cameras! I managed a few shots of the sandpipers at their evening roost. They weren’t quite the images I had envisioned, but I was happy with what I got.
That said, I wouldn’t have gone home disappointed either way...I had an absolute blast with the sanderlings. The image I’m sharing here might be a bit pedestrian, but I like it, and perfectly content to show it.
Great to have some close Pine Martens views on our last trip to Scotland - although sadly this adult seems to have a cataract affecting its left eye.
Cataracts cause a clouding to the lens which results in a gradual vision problem. Thankfully this individual seemed unaffected.
reminds me that i have two cataract surgeries coming up in february. it has been very difficult to read the type on my computer or to fully appreciate the photos. i'm looking forward to better eyesight in 2015
