Duden Waterfalls: The Düden River extends from the Taurus Mountains all the way to the Mediterranean and creates two cascades near Antalya known as the Upper and Lower Düden Waterfalls. The Upper Düden Waterfalls are in a tranquil botanical park and the Lower Düden Waterfall decants over rocky cliffs in a spectacular cascade into the Mediterranean Sea. The waterfalls are formed by a karstic depression – the dissolution of soluble rocks produces landforms and features collectively known as 'karst' which is a distinctive topography in which landscape is largely shaped by the dissolving action of water on carbonate bedrock (usually limestone, dolomite or marble). This geological process, occurring over many thousands of years, results in unusual surface and subsurface features ranging from sinkholes, vertical shafts, disappearing streams to complex underground drainage systems and caves. The limestone countryside around Antalya is rich in karst springs, sinkholes and waterfalls. A spiral staircase leads into a cave behind the upper waterfalls and affords fabulous views through a curtain of falling water, stalagmites and stalactites.

Taken from a lower angle looking away from Drem. This is 6S45 running slightly early and therefore missing out its booked stop in the down loop at Drem. 66736 is working the Blyth - Fort William Alcans on the 5th March 2015 at 1031
At around 70 feet, Lower Falls is the smallest of the three falls on the Genesee River in Letchworth State Park. It's also the only one that requires more than 100 steps from your car (including a decent of 127 stairs).

First time I am doing "actions". It helped give this boring shot a mood. I also cloned out some of the more distracting sky rises in the background after blowing out the sky. The people on the pier are my family visiting me from Germany.

You would not believe the bushwacking I did on the day I shot this image. First, I bushwacked down the wrong overgrown logging road until it deadended and I realized I had the wrong road. Then I bushwacked down the right logging road with the brush and vines and slide alder getting more impassable with every step and numerous slippery creek crossings until I lost the road. The road simply disappeared in the brush. I know it is there and shall return armed with a clipper and machete to make passage slightly easier.
I returned to the main trail and then pushed through head high brush which included stickery devil's club, to the top of the berm above this lake. It was an absolutely breakthaking sight! A brilliant sun was shining on the lake and making the foliage around me glow! A great reward for all that effort. By then it was close to 6 PM and there was no way to photograph the lake from my vantage point without direct sun in the image. In the interest of returning to my vehicle before dark I did not want to do more bushwacking to find a better spot. I love sun stars but prefer to shoot the sun with a branch or something to slightly obscure it. Full-on sun makes it more difficult to capture detail of the scenery. The next image is this shot with an added texture. I like that the texture obscures the dust particles. I include them both and am interested in your feedback as to whether the texture improves the image or not.
The lower falls on the McCloud River, in northern California. About a foot of fresh snow had fallen overnight, and I was not expecting that I'd have to hike into the falls from the road (about 1.5 miles one way through the fresh snow). It was quite tiring, and I was not able to get up to the middle or upper falls as I hoped. But I am glad I made the hike to the lower falls here. It was just beautiful with all the snow, quite a different scene from how it looks in the summer.
