Der Cañón del Sumidero (span. sumidero „Gully“, „Abflussgraben“) ist ein tiefer Canyon mit bis zu teils über 1.000 m hoch aufragenden Felswänden im mexikanischen Bundesstaat Chiapas 15 km nördlich bis 15 km östlich der Hauptstadt Tuxtla Gutiérrez, der vom Río Grijalva erst in nördlicher und dann in westlicher Richtung durchflossen wird. Seine Entstehung begann vor 35 Millionen Jahren – also etwa gleichzeitig mit dem Grand Canyon in Arizona (USA).
Der mit ca. 30 Stromschnellen und 5 Wasserfällen ausgestattete Cañón del Sumidero und das umliegende Gebiet stellen den über 20.000 ha großen Nationalpark Cañón del Sumidero dar, in welchem auch Krokodile und Flussschildkröten leben, die sich manchmal auf Felsen oder Sandbänken sonnen. In den Felsen zu beiden Seiten der Schlucht befinden sich mehrere Höhlen.
Durch den 1981 fertiggestellten Chicoasén-Staudamm am nördlichen Ende der Schlucht entstand hier einer der größten Stauseen Mexikos, dessen 261 m hohe Staumauer auch zu den 15 höchsten der Welt gehört.
Während der Eroberung des Hochlandes durch die Spanier stürzten sich hunderte Frauen und Kinder vom Maya-Stamm der Chiapa, sich so der Versklavung entziehend, in den Cañón del Sumidero. Der Stamm der Chiapa ist nachfolgend ausgestorben.
Gully Washer rain so hard the gutters could not keep up with the flow, lot of Summer showers lately, shot in North Carolina.
Def: an extremely heavy fall of rain usually of short duration
Thank you very much for the visit and comments. Cheers....from a short walk in the Kholo gardens and forest. It was intended to be a long walk, but I came across three red-belly black snakes after about 50 metres, so I abandoned my walk - not too fond of poisonous snakes.
Deep in a side gully off Karangahake Gorge NZ.
Maybe it was used by a Scotsman for Gold prospecting back in the day !
“There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep Sea, and music in its roar:
I love not Man the less, but Nature more,
From these our interviews, in which I steal
From all I may be, or have been before,
To mingle with the Universe, and feel
What I can ne’er express, yet cannot all conceal.”
-Lord Byron
A bit of a dreich day in the NW and I thought it would be good day for waterfalls at least.
I had to travel down to visit my parents in Bolton. so I thought I would do a recce around Industrial Lancashire. I headed for Healey Dell, a place I had never visited near Rochdale. Having seen a few images from here I thought it would be worth trying. I ended up having a really good walk around and got some nice images around the area. There are lots of Industrial ruins of buildings and water Mills that were a throw back to the 1800's when water power drove the "Fulling Mills" here to produce woollen garments.
This is a shot back up the gorge created by the River Spodden towards an old Railway viaduct with a very ghoulish looking rock that looked very much like a sarcophagus, hence the cryptic title.

Found this little spur coming through a pass along the Tophouse Road. This small stream had almost made it's way down the mountain and into the Waiau Toa or Clarence River.
Thank you everyone for your comments and faves on my last post. You did it again pushing me into Explore! This is two exposures handheld except for leaning on a walking pole. The water from the slow exposure was copied and pasted over the rocks in the faster exposure. The EXIF gives the details for the rock exposure.
Taken a year ago tomorrow, this is a rainforest trail in Great Otway National Park, Victoria, which we visited in the cold and rain. Beautiful nonetheless!
I had another go at this shot with a good deal of sliding...
HSS!

Came across this fern-strewn patch during a walk. There's just something so exotic, lush, and magical about ferns.
As a kid growing up I watched the cartoon Fern Gully about a bagillion times. Anyone else know about it? I don't know how entertaining it may be for an adult, but it has some good messages in it. Even though the film takes place in a jungle, there are times when I walk through a mushroom-laden, moss covered, fern infested forest of the PNW that I feel like I'm in my own version of that magical place.

A view from a gully on the southern slopes of Mt. Rauðahnúkafjall in SW-Iceland. The mountain in the back is Mt. Skarðsheiði, with the highest peak, Heiðarhorn (1053 m) to the right. The orange-coloured rock is rhyolite, a silica-rich volcanic rock, that is light in colour, often with a palette from light-grey to burnt orange.
Here's a wider view of Gully, who you can see close-up in the first comment below. So named because he was seen chasing and eating gulls when he was younger. Or so they say.

This guy had a very distinctive stance when he was fishing at the top of the falls. Look at that posture!
