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
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

I found this waterfall at the end of a hill track I've been meaning to explore for a while. Just above the waterfall is another of the small dams that are being built in the area to provide hydropower. The waterfall was first seen from the path which was a good 20-30 feet above the river so it was a bit of a clamber to get down the steep slope to get down to water level to take this shot.
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!
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.
Sunset on Mt. Shuksan,. or Rumble Gully. When conditions are right, which is often, skiers can hear the not-so-faraway rumble of avalanches tumbling down the gully.
I found a place where the Irvine Police weren't guarding against photographers. The only person in uniform I saw at the sports park was a guy carrying baseball equipment.
Along the Leif Erickson Drive Trail, Forest Park, Portland, OR
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!
Ever since I heard the Eagles' Hotel California, I was never able to think of this hotel the same way again. It must be that Spanish mission style. The Eagles' album was released in 1976, the same year I graduated with my HSC from Ferntree Gully High School.
These annoying yet very cool birds having a little rest before take off .... checking around at who's got a lunch or a snack, so that they can go and disturb a family picnic or whatever ..... they looked at me with disdain ..... I had nothing .... lol ...lol..... I feared that I might get a flurry of " white bombs " dropped upon me by the squadron.
Have a good one folks .... I really will try to catch up soon ...... and I just want to say thanks .... okay.... 8-)
