Yellowstone National Park
Wyoming, USA
During warmer times, the Lower Falls of the Yellowstone River and the canyon where the color of the cliffs provide the logic for the name of the park.
Yellowstone was established as the first U.S. national park during 1872 and covers an area of 3,468 square miles which exceeds the combined area of the states of Rhode Island and Delaware. Most of the park is located in Wyoming, but parts are in Idaho and Montana. The park has abundant wildlife and is a wonder of nature.

The Beach Lighthouse (also known as the Lower Light) is a 44-foot (13 metre) tall sandstone lighthouse in Fleetwood, Lancashire, England.
The lighthouse was designed in 1839 by Decimus Burton and Capt H.M. Denham. Burton had been commissioned three years previously by Sir Peter Hesketh Fleetwood as the architect of the new town of Fleetwood. Unusual for a lighthouse, it is in neoclassical style with a square colonnaded base, square tower, and octagonal lantern and gallery.
The Lower Light stands on Fleetwood sea front and was built with its counterpart—the Upper Light, or Pharos Lighthouse—to provide a navigational guide to shipping entering the Wyre estuary. Together the lights provide a leading line when the Pharos Light is directly above that of the Lower Light. Together they provide a range of about 12 nautical miles (22 km). In turn they point to the Wyre Light on the North Wharf Bank, 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) offshore.
Both lighthouses were first illuminated 1 December 1840. Each was run off the town's gas supply, with a single parabolic reflector placed behind the burner; later they were converted to electricity.
The Beach Lighthouse was designated a Grade II listed building by English Heritage on 26 April 1950. The lighthouse is managed by the Port of Fleetwood. Wikipedia

NJ Transit ALP-45DP no. 4519 is seen leading Montclair-Boonton Line train 1003 under the Freemand Pkwy bridge in Glen Ridge, NJ, also crossing Toneys Brook at the same time. The railroad through here was built by the Newark and Bloomfield Railroad in 1856, later grade-separated and double-tracked by the Morris & Essex Railroad in 1912. Electrification came in 1930 - with the first train operated by Thomas Edison himself - and in 1945 full ownership of the line went to the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western.
A burst of sunlight hit the trees just as I took this shot of the Lower Rivelin reservoir from the dam wall.
Rivelin Dams are a pair of water storage reservoirs situated in the upper part of the Rivelin Valley, 5 miles (8 km) west of Sheffield in South Yorkshire, England. The dams are owned by Yorkshire Water and provide water to 319,000 people as well as compensation water for the River Rivelin. They are named Upper and Lower and fall just within the eastern boundary of the Peak District.

The disused lower lighthouse on the beach at Dovercourt next to Harwich in Essex, England.
The upper and lower lights at Dovercourt were built in 1863, decomissioned in 1917 and restored to encourage tourism in the 1980s. They acted as leading lights for ships steering towards Harwich harbour.

Navajo Falls is a gem that resulted from the flash flood that tore through Havasu Canyon in August of 2008. Although this flash flood forever changed the landscape of the canyon, it created a fantastic spot for travelers to enjoy in the afternoon and evening when camping in Havasu Canyon

Evening walk reached the place a little late bit still manage to capture a few shots before hearing the wild boars behind me. Better to leave in a hurry.
These are the cliffs of lower Šplevta, a valuable orientation point during the southern ascent on Dovški Križ via the Bivouac II. (dia scan)
The lower arch of Zion's Double Arch feature at the end of Taylor Creek Trail in the Kolob Canyons section. On the approach to this double arch, the intense saturated colors on the shaded red walls of the sheer cliffs was absolutely stunning.
We must have been there at just the right time of day when the reflected light from the red rocks on the other side of the canyon intensified the colors. By the time we were heading back, this effect was already beginning to fade.
Laurel Falls is an extremely popular destination within Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The hike to the falls and back is 2.3 miles and hikers will climb roughly 314 feet in elevation before arriving at the photogenic 80-foot waterfall.
The waterfall consists of an upper and a lower section (seen in this photo), divided by a walkway which crosses the stream (Laurel Branch) at the base of the upper falls. The falls receives its name from the mountain laurel that blooms along the trail and near the falls in May.
Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

Recently I had the pleasure of visiting the Columbia River Gorge with another Flickr
We checked out a few creeks and waterfalls. It was too sunny during the day for water photography but early in the morning and later in the evening we had plenty of peaceful playtime.
This was our last stop of the trip - Lower Panther Falls.
The Mansilla Reservoir is located in the Autonomous Community of La Rioja (Spain), between the towns of Mansilla de la Sierra and Villavelayo. It has a capacity of 68 hm³, occupying an area of 246 hectares. It is located on the Najerilla River, a tributary of the Ebro River. Its waters hide in them the old town of Mansilla de la Sierra, whose church and other buildings are visible when it is low.
