Winter at the so-called "Irreler waterfalls", which are really only a few rapids.
Winter an den sogenannten "Irreler Wasserfällen", die eigentlich nur ein paar Stromschnellen sind.

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).
A completely reworked version of this image, including some valuable feedback from Adam Williams.
I took a punt and entered it in the Better Photography Image of the Year competition, Creative Flair section. It was awarded a Silver and finished in the top 50. A very pleasing result.
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.

„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."
(Paolo Rumiz)
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.
The other day we drove down to Elk Rapids to a Walk in the Park. Nice to be out side too. Packed a lunch and although it was cool we sat in the car had lunch and enjoyed this view.
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.
We went for a ride today and Dave took this with his drone down by Elk Rapids. Trees are just starting to turn white. I thought it was a pretty shot of this nice farm.
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.

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.

▶ Composed primarily of granite-gneiss migmatite rock, Arabia Mountain is a monadnock —"an isolated small mountain that rises abruptly from a gently sloping or virtually level surrounding plain."
▶ Arabia Mountain is 955 feet (290 m) above sea level, but it rises only 172 feet (52 m) above the surrounding countryside. The hillcrest in the image is a short climb from the summit.
▶ These temporarily cascading rivulets eventually flow into Crooked Creek, itself a tributary of the South River.
