White water at the Isar near Unterföhring. These are "artificial" rapids - a 1920s weir at this place was demolished for environmental reasons, now the 4 m height difference are in form of these rapids.

The treacherous hornby Rapids. This seemingly impossible sandstone wall was said to be inspiration for some of M C Escher's famous drawings (although the source of this rumour is unreliable).

Thanks for viewing.
I used to do a fair amount of river rafting, but no longer have the energy for it. I still love to sit by the river listening to the water finding its way up and over and between the rocks and inhaling the smell of wet willows.
„Der Po verändert seinen Klang je nach Lage. Das ist ein ruhiges Murmeln in den stillen Passagen, besonders in den versteckten Mäandern. Das wird zum Donnern, wo er sich zu einem Kanal verengt. Wenn du dich nachts am Ufer zum Schlafen ausstreckst, klingt das vom Wasser her wuchtig wie ein Kontrabass und das begleitet dich die ganze Nacht. Und schließlich verwandeln seine Laute sich zu einem Konzert, wenn er sich dem Ende zu in viele Arme verzweigt, er wird zur Symphonie, spürt die Nähe des Meeres und dem Einfluss von Ebbe und Flut.“
(Paolo Rumiz)
"The Po changes its sound depending on its position. It's a quiet murmur in the quiet passages, especially in the hidden meanders. It becomes a thunder where it narrows into a channel. When you stretch out to sleep on the bank at night, it sounds massive from the water like a double bass and that accompanies you all night. And finally, its sounds turn into a concert when it branches out into many arms towards the end, it becomes a symphony, feeling the closeness of the sea and the influence of the tide."

Right after the rain stops, BNSF 1832 West pulls up to a stop signal at West Chub Lake (Carlton, MN). This 60-car Rapids Turn would hold here for a meet with a UKEEALL "dock train" and then proceed west to work Cloquet and Grand Rapids. By the time they met the taconite load and got the light here, more clouds filled in and the light wasn't nearly as good.
It was nice to see some bats flitting around me as I walked down to the stream before sunrise this morning. I struggled to find strong images, but did quite like this one, taken as some of the trees started to be hit by the early sun.
A early morning sunrise capture of the rapids before the falls at Many Glacier Lodge in Glacier National Park (US).
Spotted this the other day when we were heading for Traverse City. I thought they have done such a nice job decorating as you come into town.
Mahuia Rapids are easy to find, but harder to get to the water's edge. It's probably not safe anyhow, but pretty to look at.
Between Wain Wath Falls and the West Stonesdale Bridge, the River Swale drops over a series of chutes, rapids & small waterfalls.
River Dee at Llangollen ,several teams on the river that day ..Not normally a candid capture person myself but these were so inviting for action shots :))

Basaltic columns formed during cooling of a basaltic lava flow lie along the bank of the Fall River near Chester, Idaho. The rapids are caused by a restriction formed as the river cut through the basalt flow. This photo was taken near the bridge where US 20 crosses the river.
