Continuing with the winter theme (still), and another rare dabble into waterfalls for me, first outing for this image from last year.
Catrigg Force is found a short distance from the village of Stainforth, just north of Settle, where there is a National Park car park. From the same car park it is also only a short walk to Stainforth Force - another dramatic waterfall.
Two stacked images: one at 0.3s for the waterfall and one at 1/400s to freeze any motion in the foliage.

Scaleber Force always looks amazing in autumn with the fallen leaves and earthy colours of the surrounding coppice. It felt great to get back out in the Yorkshire Dales photographing as it's been so long since I last visited.....
Cotter Force is one of the better known waterfalls in the Yorkshire Dales and is found on Cotterdale Beck not far upstream from where it flows into the River Ure in upper Wensleydale.
Cotter Force is actually made up of six separate drops, each drop wider than the one above. This is a view of the lower section from the side.
"Force" is local dialect for "falls", (derived from the Norse "Foss") and does not reflect the power of the river. These are the lower major falls on the river Tees, 2 miles below High Force. The water really did look this black & oily !
An active thunderstorm cell bears down on the Uinta Basin west of Fantasy Canyon. I was hoping for some luck with a catch of the frequent lightning, but it was not to be. The foreground formation is the remnant of material washed in from mountains to the east. These deposits formed more resistant sandstones that remained as the softer silts and mudstones eroded away. As noted in an earlier post, a native American tradition suggests the formations resulted from demons which emerged from the underworld with a plot to take over the surface world. Their plan was thwarted by the north god who sent snow and cold weather that froze the demons, leaving them in strange contorted shapes forever.
A combination of a low pressure ridge, causing high winds and large onshore swells, and the highest tide of the month, made for a coastal battering at Porthleven on Thursday evening.
The Cornwall tourist board advert said "visit Cornwall for the Spring Bank Holiday week and celebrate the Jubilee on the beach"....fat chance of that!

Kisdon Force consists of two waterfalls, this one and the one in the background..
These photo's are all off an old back up hard drive, none of these photo's have been processed before. At the time of taking I took many shots, trying different settings, I posted some and others have just stayed dormant on my back up hard drive..
I was quite surprised when my brother told me that that this waterfall was nearby given that there'd been no indication of it save for a stream which you could see on the other side of the road but which didn't appear to amount to much. I was astonished therefore when I looked over the bridge and saw this below me! You can see the arch of the bridge at the top of frame which gives you an idea as to how dep this gorge is. An amazing place and well worth the short walk to get to the river.
Snowbirds- 11-Ct-114 Tudors starting up the engines
Boundary Bay Air Demonstration
British Columbia
Canada
The Snowbirds, officially known as 431 Air Demonstration Squadron are the military aerobatics or air show flight demonstration team of the Royal Canadian Air Force. The team is based at 15 Wing Moose Jaw near Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. The Snowbirds' official purpose is to "demonstrate the skill, professionalism, and teamwork of Canadian Forces personnel". The Snowbirds are the first Canadian air demonstration team to be designated as a squadron.
The show team flies 11 CT-114 Tutors—nine for aerobatic performances, including two solo aircraft, and two as spares, flown by the team coordinators. Approximately 80 Canadian Forces personnel work with the squadron full-time; 24 personnel are in the show team that travels during the show season. The Snowbirds are the only major military aerobatics team that operates without a support aircraft.
The Snowbirds continue the flying demonstration tradition of previous Canadian air force aerobatic teams, which include the Siskins, the Blue Devils, the Golden Hawks, and the Golden Centennaires.
Number 431 Squadron formed on 11 November 1942, at RAF Burn (in North Yorkshire), flying Wellington B.X medium bombers with No. 4 Group RAF Bomber Command. The squadron moved to RAF Tholthorpe in mid-1943 as part of the move to bring all RCAF squadrons into one operational group – No. 6 Group RCAF – and converted to Halifax B.V four-engined heavy bombers. In December 1943 the squadron moved to RAF Croft where it was re-equipped with Halifax IIIs and later, Lancaster B.X aircraft. The squadron moved to RCAF Station Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, after the war, disbanding there on 5 September 1945.

The Chestnut-backed (above) and Black-capped chickadees have been coming to the feeder and using the water dish non-stop since yesterday. What changed? The grosbeaks haven't been coming to the feeder as often. I suspect many of them have left already. Last year they left in early August.
Thornton Force is one of the most popular waterfalls in the Yorkshire Dales and the finest of the many waterfalls seen on the Ingleton Waterfalls Walk. Dropping 46ft over a limestone cliff, Thornton Force is a stunning sight when it bursts in to view. Situated in an open air rocky ampitheatre Thornton Force is more than just an impressive waterfall. It is partly formed from rocks over 300 million years old. Indeed there are number of layers to the rock behind the falls and it is possible, within the span of one hand to measure over 170 million years of geological evolution.
